Providing lasting food security to a growing population is obviously vital. Living environments of the future use a food strategy focused on sustainable consumption thanks to shortened chains. With the help of new developments in farming methods and digitalisations, food strategies can be promoted. The efficient use of limited space and natural resources plays an important role here in order to minimise food waste.
The Green Innovation Hub contributes to food security in the future in the following ways. We encourage:
Thus, the habitat of the future has short food chains. Digitalization offers new solutions for distributing smaller food volumes from the local area to consumers. In the Green Innovation Hub, companies are jointly developing these digital solutions, thereby responding to a current need: the Flevopolder is home to many arable farmers, while in Almere the demand for fresh, locally produced food is increasing. As a citizen, do you want a crop on your plate tomorrow? Thanks to a digital order, it will be produced today. That local, just-in-time production saves on transportation and even packaging, because the fresh food goes directly from the farmer to your plate.
