Why sustainable?

‘Volkstuinen’ or ‘buurtuinen’ is an opportunity for more urban gardening in the city. This is recognised as beneficial to the local residents' mental health and as a platform for people to grow their own fruits and vegetables. The creation of such spaces is also step taken towards a greener city and community.

Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure: The initiative is a form of communal urban gardening and encourages more green in the city.

Responsible Consumption and Production: The garden plots provide space where residents can grow their own fruit and vegetables which is a form of sustainable food production.

Life on Land: Gardening is a mean of increasing urban biodiversity.
