China has already built many cities from scratch. Mostly to support urbanisation, sometimes to create new business opportunities and for investment purposes too. Xiongan, the newest city, with an intended population of 6,5 million is supposed to take over non-capital functions from Beijing. Under direct supervision of president Xi Jin Ping the city will become 'smart', meaning technological advanced and environment- friendly. Read more about it in my newest post.

Arnhem food cooperative with Amsterdam roots
In 1901, sixteen dairy farmers in the vicinity of Amsterdam, decided to establish the "Ilpenstein" cheese factory. My grandfather, Piet Nieuweboer, was one of the directors of the cooperative. The reason for collaboration within the cooperative? Cheesemaking traditionally takes place at the farm itself. The cheese factory made it possible to use innovative cheesemaking techniques. Even more important was the collaboration to improve the distribution and marketing of the cheese towards customers.
With the course "Biologisch Tuinieren in de Stad", we have trained almost two hundred new urban farmers in the city of Arnhem. Organic urban farmers with a food garden of half a square meter till half a hectare. It is a dream that these organic urban farmers, and others, will eventually find and learn from each other. Our initiative is the establishment and growth of the "Biologische Stadsboeren Coöperatie Arnhem Groen". An organic urban farmers' cooperative focused on economic collaboration in a green Arnhem.
