Healthy food for anyone

Land use and agriculture have a significant share in greenhouse gas emissions and the rapid decline of biodiversity, and with that the endangered food security.

Not farmers in the first place, but the agro-industrial complex as a whole - we consumers included - are responsible for this huge and often underestimated problem.

In my newest post, I argue that city governments as intermediates have an important role to play in the solution of this problem, given the complex interactions between multiple actors,

The EU project CommuniCity encourages the development of tech solutions for and with various marginalized and/or vulnerable groups.

YIMBY Arnhem! is a bottom-up movement aiming at small scale food growing in the city of Arnhem (NL). The 10 ten years of green YIMBY Arnhem! experience shows the fun and cooperation of urban growing food.
