Prosumptie in de polder: een verkenning van de zelf voedsel producerende consument in Almere (AMS Institute)
Dit onderzoek heeft als doel het duiden van het fenomeen voedsel-prosument in Almere. Een voedsel-prosument is iemand die (een deel van) zijn of haar voedsel zelf verbouwt of anderzijds verkrijgt op zo’n manier dat deze persoon zelf actief deelneemt in de totstandkoming ervan. Er zijn zes vormen van prosumptie gedefinieerd: ‘de vensterbank’, ‘de achtertuin’, ‘de volkstuin’, ‘de buurttuin’, ‘wildpluk’ en ‘uitbestede productie’.
Bij het duiden van het begrip voedsel-prosument wordt gebruik gemaakt van de volgende onderzoeksvragen:
1. Wat betekent prosumptie in theorie en praktijk?
2. De praktijk: wie zijn het, wat doen ze en waar, en wat is hun motivatie?
3. De vraag en het aanbod: welke producten en diensten hebben zij nodig en wat biedt de markt, welke innovaties (door bedrijfsleven, instellingen en overheid) zijn er al?
4. Wat is het perspectief van prosumptie voor beleid, markt en onderzoek? -

Towards a durable food system for Almere (AMS Institute)
The present study addresses the increasing role and impact of cities in the global food system and the trend towards urban food strategies with more attention to health and shorter food chains. Due to increasing internationalization and urbanization, cities have become important and growing consumption hubs of food. They are supplied by production areas worldwide, where there is an increasing spatial dependence between consumption areas on the one hand and production areas, on the other hand, have arisen. This study therefore takes a spatial perspective on the global network of food producers, processors and distribution activities in relation to the food consumption activities in the city of Almere. It is examined whether and, if so, where a more local or regional food system of Almere has a positive impact on socio-economic - and environmental aspects in the global food system could have.
This report was written by Ir. Liesbeth de Schutter and Prof. Dr. Eveline van Leeuwen. This analysis was made in collaboration between AMS Institute, Wageningen University & Research and Vienna University of Economics and Business.

Flevo campus (AMS Institute)
Flevo Campus works on rethinking the urban food system for Almere and how this can lead to a better living environment in growing cities, with more healthy citizens.
More and more citizens live in cities. Metropolitan areas usually also mean that green space is scarce, the distance between city and countryside is quite large, aspects of the living environment are under pressure and healthy eating is less accessible or self-evident. Cities and the hinterland are the driving force in the transition to a new food system.
Almere is such a fast growing city. Located at the junction of the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area and the countryside, where city and country meet, Almere is excellently positioned to be a green and healthy city. The city would like its citizens to eat fresh and healthy food from the regional food chain. Flevo Campus was founded with this aim in mind.
Almere will almost double in size in the coming 30 years. Flevo Campus was initiated by Almere’s city council to support the city’s future growth with investments in the educational and research sector. Flevo Campus is a scientific hotspot for innovations, in which students, researchers and businesses are brought together to explore and test how food provisioning can change and innovate in growing cities.
Flevo Campus is a collaborative effort between AMS Institute, Aeres University of Applied Sciences Almere, City of Almere, and the Province of Flevoland. AMS Institute leads the Flevo Campus research program and as from January 2017 various exploratory studies have started. Involvement of all Flevo Campus partners and stakeholders provide a Living Lab setting that enables to valorize our research in practice in public city governance as well as in business opportunities.
Flevo Campus partners jointly organize summer schools, think tanks, business challenges, business vouchers, and events such as Flevo Campus Live and Floriade Dialogues.
