MSc Thesis - Imagining possible farm futures

Recommendations for a desirable and sustainable future

With the aim of accelerating the transition towards a desirable and sustainable future, this case study explores the possible futures of the Amstelscheg area. This is done by developing a set of indicators deriving from already existing visions for the area, and the planetary boundaries framework. These indicators form a multi-stakeholder lens through which the area is spatially analysed. The results of the analysis are presented as “urgencies” and “potentials” for future development in the area.
Urgencies that were found include: the current ownership of the agricultural land, the demands of the global (food) market and changing climatic conditions. Potential developments regard new ways of land-ownership, connecting the consumer and the landscape and research on technical solutions.
