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.

I will discuss it with my team, but personally I think it's always good to post videos like these to get the discussion going. What is recycling, what is the circular economy about? And maybe this might not be the best option, but it will get people to think critically on the subjects. And who knows, maybe someone - on the other side of the world - gets inspired by your ideas and does figure out a way to contribute to the circular economy. Good luck today, Jim!
Hi Simone,
Thank you for your kind words. You may not want to post it. I am being blasted by the circle economy community who says this is not circular economy but only downgrade recycling. I guess I have a lot to learn about the circular economy. Try, fail, try again, That's how I get better. Always amazed at how quick people are to criticise and trash but when asked for help to improve or better yet provide a solution or constructive advice.... silence. Back to the drawing board. Hopefully today's event at the KvK will help!
Groetjes,
Jim

Dear Jim, thanks for the great video. Haven't seen it before and will post in our site later :) Please let me/us know if you've got any other videos.
Hi Maaike,
Outdoor advertising has a high impact on our environment. Some say it will never be able to be truly sustainable and it will be hard challenged to meet the high standards of the circular economy. But with a little effort, I believe it can be both.
Here is a link to a video that shows how something as common as a discarded beer bottle can be turned into an outdoor promotional print. Unfortunately, Amsterdam has recently banned natural-media but that is not going to stop the small, innovative industry that now has over 100 companies producing natural-media campaigns around the world, 15 right here in the Netherlands!
