The Netherlands loves urban agriculture

I have proof. The first vertical farming skyscraper is under construction there.  People are making donations to fertilize green roofs and what's more in a few days the International Purefood Conference kicks off in Utrecht.
At the conference you have both stimulating dialogue and trips to local peri-urban and urban farms.
The following day you have the Day of Urban Farming, which revolves around the central topic of how urban and peri-urban farming and regional food systems can fulfill the needs of Dutch cities.

Do you want more proof of how the Dutch have gone bananas for urban agriculture? How about the Journal of Urban Agriculture and Regional Food Systems, recently launched in...the Netherlands!
