If we find ways to make the food system more local, we can limit the many 'food miles'. There are already numerous initiatives that have put this transition to local food and short food chains on the map. Yet we see that these often remain small 'cuddly' companies that operate supply-driven. How can we improve this? Which new models can we develop so that every Dutch person has access to locally produced food? And are there opportunities in the perspective of 'business to consumer'? Can consumer demand be managed? That's what you will be thinking about in this Flevo Campus Think Tank. But not only do we let our brains crack, we're actually going to work. Think tank and pressure cooker in one!
