Michael Beijer Feb 8, 2022:
@Marijke: I expect you were too busy to reply. However, I just thought I'd mention that it is becoming increasingly common for asker's to ask questions but never say a word. Especially after a recent incident we had here involving a fake profile, it would be great if asker's tried to at least say sth now and then, so we know we are helping a real person.
Michael Beijer Jan 25, 2022:
lots of interesting suggestions … but without further context we're all just guessing really
Michael Beijer Jan 25, 2022:
@Marijke Can we have some more context? You said your text is about the production of animal feed and food (i.e. food for animals and humans?), in which way? We need to know what the emphasis is on, etc. For example, "beheersbaar" here could be about producing the food in such a way as to make it more ecologically sustainable (de toekomst van de planeet), or simply about making the production process more manageable (for the customer? producer? factory?). That is, there are many possible interpretations...

Or perhaps also: Being in control of the future, together
Peer comment(s):
agree Marijke Singer : I like this one

Thank you, Marijke
agree Barend van Zadelhoff : Sounds good. 'maken' suggests 'taking control' rather than 'being in control', no? Also sounds better, more active.

Hi Barend, thank you and indeed, 'taking control' is closer to 'beheersbaar maken' and also sounds more dynamic.

Two options to start off with.

another option: "making the future manageable, together"
Peer comment(s):
neutral Marijke Singer : manageable always sounds so depressing :-)

Ha ha, I kind of like it, and am not such a fan of "control", in this context. Smaken verschillen, I suppose.
agree Brian Quigley : imho, manageable is way better than 'control'! :-)

Thanks, Brian!

together we control the future

When asked to translate slogans, I tend to give my customer various options if they understand the language.
Other options:
together the future is sorted
manage your future with us
Peer comment(s):
agree Michael Beijer : I like, "manage your future with us" (Asker's context permitting, of course)
