The municipality of Tilburg’s plans

Urban agriculture in the Nieuwe Warande

VISION

Between Tilburg Noord, Udenhout and Berkel-Enschot lies Tilburg’s garden of the future. A beautiful

garden, the Nieuwe Warande, designed and sustained by the people of Tilburg. Wouldn’t it be

fantastic if the Nieuwe Warande could set a shining example of new links between town and country,

between urban demands and the needs of rural areas. An area where city-dwellers, farmers and

nature meet, where culture and business co-exist, where recreation, agriculture and nature come

together in a sustainable environment. Where there is room for local food production and

processing, special lifestyle concepts and recreational opportunities in the open air, innovative

partnerships between social/cultural institutions and farmers/land management agencies, where

even new residents of Tilburg who are not Dutch by origin can enjoy themselves and feel at home.

TODAY

Motivation

In December 2009 the Council of the municipality of Tilburg drew up the Structuurvisie Noordoost

2020 (Structural Vision North East 2020). In the Structuurvisie Noordoost 2020 sites for new

residential and industrial areas are located immediately adjacent to the existing urban areas,

creating an open centre. The Structuurvisie Noordoost 2020 refers to this centre to as the Centrale

Landschap (Central Landscape). The development sectors and the Centrale Landschap together form

the Nieuwe Warande.

Nieuwe Warande Centrale Landschap

The ambition for the Centrale Landschap is to enhance its characteristics and values, such as open

space, ecology, agricultural functions and cultural history, while retaining its function (water) for the

De Brand nature area. It will act as a rural recreation area and place of relaxation which retains and

enhances the valuable landscape, and as a buffer against further urbanisation. The vision states that

this ambition will be further elaborated in a development plan/spatial vision. The concept planned

and the process are discussed below.

Background

Why is it so important for the Centrale Landschap to remain non-urbanised and to be made (more)

suitable for use as a rural recreation area and place of relaxation? For a long time, spatial planning

policy has made a clear distinction between urban areas and rural areas, adopting an urban model

which is based on the premise that compact towns save rural areas. As a result, the pressure on

land and space in urban areas has increased sharply in recent years. One consequence of this is that

people living in urban areas are calling for more green areas to be provided in and close to cities

(source: lecture by Van de Donk, 2010).

However, many residents of urban areas find it difficult to identify with rural areas. For them, rural

areas are characterised by visual monotony (large-scale mono-functional agriculture) and lack of

ecological diversity, and there is an awareness nowadays that production methods in many regions

are leading to desertification, over-fertilisation, acidification and degradation (source: essay by

Marijke van Schendelen, 2009). Empowerment of urban dwellers and the critical attitudes that they

4

hold has led to antipathy and disgust, but also to a growing interest in the whole food chain, the

provenance of food, the processing and preparation methods used and, finally, attractive methods of

consumption. This means that ‘food’ is no longer simply a product of the agricultural sector and the

green world, which adopts a supply-oriented approach, but is also an area of interest to many

consumers who want to know where their food comes from, what happens to it along the way,

which health aspects are relevant and, naturally, how it can tickle the tastebuds. In short, urban

dwellers are taking a growing interest in rural areas as a place where they can relax, enjoy

recreational activities and buy food. Towns need rural areas!

But do rural areas need towns? Many changes are taking place in rural areas. One distinctive feature

of rural areas in recent years is the decline in the number of farms. For all sorts of reasons, the

number of farms in rural areas is falling (shaky economic outlook, lack of new blood, encroachment

of towns, need for increases in scale, tighter legislation). Over recent years rural areas have seen

the start of a process in which greater attention is paid to socio-economic and socio-cultural

development opportunities. Farms are increasingly taking an interest in markets in urban areas

nearby rather than selling all their produce on the national or world market. More and more farmers

are combining an interest in diversified agriculture, including care, education or recreational

functions, with differentiation of their primary production into sub-markets. As a result, the local

region gains in importance compared with the world market. Farmers are implicitly responding to a

cultural interest in rural developments on the part of urban dwellers, although in fact these

developments appeared to be aimed at reinforcing and stabilising the agricultural sector as a whole

both economically and socially by means of a broadening of functions and diversification. This

development is referred to as diversified agriculture, urban agriculture or multifunctional agriculture;

we will use the term ‘urban agriculture’. The question is whether rural areas really need towns.

There are others within the agricultural sector who swear by the rational, large-scale monofunctional

approach and intensification of production, with long-term contracts with the food industry and retail

sector, which developed in the western world after the Second World War (source: essay by Marijke

van Schendelen, 2009). However, it may be concluded that there are opportunities for rural areas to

respond to the needs of towns, for urban agriculture.

Concept of urban agriculture

The significance of urban agriculture to urban areas and their residents is multi-faceted. The

greatest benefit is that it combines food production with the need of urban residents for green, quiet

spaces and social cohesion (by communally maintaining their living environment). This combination

creates a natural synergy between functions: food production goes hand in hand with a higher-

quality living environment. As a result, space is used efficiently and food acts as the ‘glue’ which

holds the city together. Urban agriculture can help to achieve public objectives. These can be divided

into the three P’s (people, planet and profit) (source: Urban Agriculture brochure, Wageningen

University).

People:

Availability of (local) food

Knowledge of the provenance of the food (visibility and transparency if food chain is ‘round

the corner’)

Opportunities to combine food production with care (care farms, day centres) and recreation

(green areas in towns, public spaces, nature)

Food experience and education (how food is produced, bringing children into contact with

plants and animals)

A healthier (urban) population due to the availability of healthy food

Create social cohesion

Restore people’s confidence in the food system

More attractive business environment

Stronger economic and social environment and stabilisation of the agricultural sector

Planet:

Nature and landscape management in and around urban areas

Shorter food chains (less transport and lower CO2 emissions)

5

Water purification and water storage

Creation of habitat for (agricultural) biodiversity

Profit:

Maintaining a regional food economy

Stimulating the local and regional economy

New local employment opportunities (Urban Agriculture brochure, Wageningen University)

Approaches to urban agriculture

Globally, there are two approaches to urban agriculture. The best known form is combining

agricultural production in rural areas which are close to urban areas with more city-focused

functions. Policy formed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV) generally uses

the term ‘multifunctional agriculture’. A second approach is to locate urban agriculture within the

urban area itself, seeking opportunities to produce fruit and vegetables within the built environment.

This may range from planting fruit trees in public green spaces to city gardens with fields of

potatoes and (historic) farms which have been absorbed into the fabric of the town. For the

municipality of Tilburg both forms of urban agriculture are interesting developments as they can

offer innovative approaches to urban and regional policy relating to green space and spatial

planning.

Urban agriculture already takes place at a small scale in the city of Tilburg. A working group from

Duurzaam Tilburg (Sustainable Tilburg) set up the project ‘De (h)eerlijke Eetbare Stad’ (The

wonderful, sustainable, edible city) to make existing activities more visible, initiate new ones and

encourage exchange of ideas. Work aimed at increasing the visibility of these initiatives and linking

them together started in 2009. The project was subsidised by the province. A kitchen garden was

established in the Kruidenbuurt neighbourhood in spring 2009. Children and residents from the local

area maintain the garden and harvest the crops. In the Kruidenbuurt area, children also go round

the neighbourhood selling vegetables with a donkey and cart. Another example is the De Rooie Biet

city garden which lies right in the middle of the city. Here, children grow vegetables under

supervision. There are allotments in the Vlashof area. Some of these allotments have been made

suitable for children from De Sleutel primary school with grants from the municipality. The Cleijn

Hasselt primary school recently established a school garden.

Urban agriculture also takes place on a limited scale in rural areas within the Tilburg city limits.

There has been an organic farm shop on the Molenhoefstraat in the Nieuwe Warande since 1999. It

sells organic (local) produce. On Quirijnstokstraat, also in the Nieuwe Warande, there is a cattle

farm (Limousin cows) and a tree nursery. Meat packs can be ordered and are sold from the farm.

There is a care farm at De Kuil in Udenhout, also in the Nieuwe Warande. In addition to running a

tree nursery and pig farm, the owners of this care farm also provide care for adults suffering from

dementia. There is an ostrich farm on the Bleukweg in Tilburg Zuid-West. The owners give guided

tours and sell ostrich products, including meat, eggs and feathers from the farm.

Urban agriculture is already taking place at a small scale in the municipality of Tilburg. The benefits

of urban agriculture are so great that there is now a desire appropriate to implement this concept

more widely and on a larger scale. The next section discusses the opportunities for urban agriculture

in the Nieuwe Warande.

Urban agriculture in the Nieuwe Warande

Changes in the agricultural sector in the Nieuwe Warande are no different from the national trend.

In the Nieuwe Warande, too, the agricultural sector is finding it difficult to keep its head above

water. Many farms in the Nieuwe Warande have been wound up or have changed direction in recent

years. It is relatively common to switch from intensive livestock farming to tree growing. Currently

there are approximately 25 fully operational farms in the Nieuwe Warande, but there is not enough

space in the Nieuwe Warande to provide a future for all of them. Farms need to expand and need

more space to do so. An average dairy farm requires 80 hectares. The Centrale Landschap covers an

area of 250 hectares, which means that there is room for three dairy farms. By comparison, there

are currently approximately six dairy farms in the Nieuwe Warande. The Nieuwe Warande is also

facing the challenge of encroachment by the city. The province has designated some of the Nieuwe

6

Warande as future building land. The Structuurvisie Noordoost 2020 makes provision for future

urbanisation on the edges of the Nieuwe Warande, leaving a large, open, central area. New (and

existing) residential areas mean that there is less space for the agricultural sector, and intensive

livestock farming is no longer desirable due to its environmental impact radius. In the Nieuwe

Warande, urban agriculture provides an opportunity to ensure that the agricultural sector has an

economic future.

Urban agriculture is also a means of making spatial planning ambitions for the Nieuwe Warande a

reality. As stated in the Structuurvisie Noordoost 2020, the intention is to keep this area as open

space and prevent further urbanisation. Farmers are the cornerstone of the area. They own a large

percentage of the land and make an important contribution to maintaining the area as open space.

From this perspective, it is important to support the agricultural sector and offer it prospects for the

future.

Another ambition of the Structuurvisie Noordoost 2020 is that the Nieuwe Warande will increasingly

function as a rural recreation area. The area currently has a very limited functional relationship with

the surrounding villages and the city of Tilburg. Non-residents and landowners only use the area to

travel between the villages and the city, on existing cycle routes and roads. It is rarely used for

recreational purposes, and its practical and amenity value is low. Urban agriculture will ensure that

rural areas invite people to visit, to cycle and walk, to buy produce, to see how produce is made,

and to learn more about it. Urban agriculture can help to achieve this ambition.

A third spatial planning ambition for the Nieuwe Warande is to maintain and enhance its ecological

value. Two habitat corridors are planned in the Nieuwe Warande. They will be important as a means

of safeguarding the ecological characteristics of the area and increasing its landscape value. Urban

agriculture and the ambition to enhance the wet and dry ecology of the area can be combined in the

form of agricultural nature management. Farmers will also have opportunities to benefit from the

wetland ecology.

Finally, urban agriculture helps to achieve other ambitions of the municipality, such as:

1. Greater regional cooperation: attempts are being made to set up a regional food policy

council for regional marketing of local products from rural areas.

2. Social mobility: various forms of urban agriculture help to encourage social mobility, e.g.

education (schools, learning through work) and care. This helps to achieve the three

objectives for the Stokhasselt ‘impulse neighbourhood’.

3. Business environment: make the Nieuwe Warande more attractive to improve the business

environment

It has also been proved that people who take part in recreational activities in a green environment

and eat healthy food are less likely to become ill. This reduces costs.

Opportunities and challenges

The question posed was whether the Nieuwe Warande has all the ingredients needed to make the

urban agriculture concept a success. It may be concluded that these ingredients are present. Firstly,

the Nieuwe Warande is a predominantly agricultural area with a broad range of business activities

and products. The advantage of this diversity of business activities and products is that a very broad

approach to the concept of urban agriculture can be taken. Secondly, the Nieuwe Warande is within

easy reach of city and village dwellers in and around Tilburg. It does not take long to travel between

the villages, city and the Nieuwe Warande, even by bicycle or on foot. City-dwellers can reach

farmers and vice versa. Thirdly, there is energy and enthusiasm within the area among farmers as

suppliers, among the surrounding population as customers, and among third parties.

A number of projects make this clear:

The land use plan prepared by the Brabantse Milieufederatie (Brabant Environmental

Federation – BMF) ‘De Nieuwe Warande: d'n landbouwhof van Tilburg’ (The Nieuwe

Warande: a farm for Tilburg). The team which prepared it included farmers and residents of

the area;

‘Goei Eete’, a Transition Towns initiative to gauge the interest in regionally produced food

within the city;

7

Stedennetwerk Stadslandbouw (Urban Agriculture City Network). The Ministry of Agriculture,

Nature and Food Quality (LNV) has commissioned Wageningen University to set up a city

network as a means of enabling cities to exchange information and ideas relating to the

implementation of urban agriculture.

A number of significant challenges also arise:

Is there sufficient supply on the part of farmers? Are a number of farmers interested? Will

this be enough to achieve the ambitions? How can farmers be encouraged to run a city

farm? One challenge is to persuade farmers to become involved in a form of urban

agriculture.

If new urban agriculture initiatives are to be implemented successfully, it is very important

to create links between (initiatives by) community-based and public organisations,

entrepreneurs and citizens. Rural and urban networks are currently worlds apart. If the

concept is to succeed, it will be essential for urban and rural networks to interact, for

demand from the city and supply from rural areas to come together. How do you achieve

this?

It is important to think and collaborate at an integrated, and therefore multisectoral, level

both internally and externally. Collaboration between sectors is essential if urban agriculture

is to get off the ground, especially between the spatial planning sector and the social sector.

This is a relatively new way of working.

The physical links between urban and rural areas must be good. Rural areas must be easily

accessible. Residents of Tilburg Noord perceive the Burgemeester Bechtweg road as a

physical barrier to visiting the Nieuwe Warande. How can these barriers be removed?

Separation of functions is normal in spatial planning. A standard procedure is to purchase

agricultural land and designate it for residential, industrial, nature or recreational purposes.

Agriculture therefore vanishes, and with it the opportunity for agriculture to respond to

urban needs. The challenge is to integrate urban agriculture into planning and urban

development thinking and to create development plan categories which incorporate urban

agriculture easily and as a matter of course. Changes in legislation, regulations and spatial

planning will also be necessary.

Action plan

Process

In order to create support for the concept of urban agriculture, it is important for the concrete

details of the area to be defined from the grass roots. A bottom-up process is proposed: it will be

interactive and innovative and those affected will be involved from an early stage. True development

will come from the area itself, based on a spirit of entrepreneurship and functional changes. In this

development process the point of departure will be the area’s strength, qualities and capacity for

self-management. From above, space will be created at the administrative level to ensure that the

municipality is not constrained by procedures and rules from the outset. During the process, the

municipality will act as initiator, facilitator, stimulator and quality controller. The municipality will

only take on an implementing role in terms of making the area easily accessible and enhancing the

natural environment.

Scope of the project:

1. Geographical scope: which area are we targeting in order to get the urban agriculture

concept off the ground? There are three distinct areas:

a. the Nieuwe Warande area: the Nieuwe Warande is the area where the urban agriculture

concept will be implemented. The intention is that farmers in this area will be given space to

engage in a form of urban agriculture (supply side). The Nieuwe Warande covers the area

between the villages of Berkel-Enschot and Udenhout and Tilburg. and includes the four

sectors (North, East, South and West sector), the open central area (Centrale Landschap)

and De Brem. The area of the Nieuwe Warande is approximately 650 hectares. Urban

agriculture will focus on the Centrale Landschap, which covers an area of approximately 250

hectares. In the ‘sectors’, house-building will be combined with urban agriculture as far as

possible. This will be the case, in particular, in the sectors where there is a relatively large

8

number of farmers and where there is room for urban agriculture, i.e. the North and West

sector.

b. Municipality: the scope with regard to the demand side for urban agriculture will be

targeted at the municipality in the first instance (see 2: customer target group). An

inventory of the demand for urban agriculture within the municipal boundaries will be

compiled.

c. Region: local marketing of agricultural produce is economically viable and attractive if it

takes place on a regional scale. Regional cooperation is desirable. The scope in terms of the

supply of and demand for locally produced food will focus on the Heart of Brabant region.

This objective is also included in the Gebiedsagenda (Regional Agenda) for Heart of Brabant.

2. Target group: which groups will be targeted with regard to the supply of and demand for

urban agriculture?

a. Sales market: the target group in terms of creating a sales market is existing farmers in

the Nieuwe Warande who have a fully operational farm, want to continue farming in the

future and are enthusiastic about engaging in a form of urban agriculture. This may be a

diversified form of agriculture (agriculture plus non-agricultural activities such as care,

education, recreation, childcare) or an enhanced form (local produce, organic farming,

improving the quality of agricultural produce). Agricultural entrepreneurs are being sought in

the Nieuwe Warande, preferably sustainable or organic farmers who are prepared to look

beyond their own backyard. Involvement is entirely voluntary. We will examine how their

energy and motivation can be rewarded with sufficient opportunities to run a profitable

urban farm into the future. Land owned by the municipality will be used where this is

possible and desirable.

b. Customers: the needs of (urban) residents of Tilburg will be taken as the starting point.

The main factor is the demand for locally produced food (preferably sustainably produced

food), recreation, childcare, care, education, etc. in the Nieuwe Warande. This may be from

organised groups, such as care institutions, or non-organised groups, such as the residents

of Tilburg Noord.

Preconditions:

Content-related:

1. Structuurvisie Noordoost 2020: one precondition is that the ambitions of the Structuurvisie

Noordoost must be achieved. The ambitions for the Centrale Landschap may be summarised

as follows:

a. Landscape: maintain and enhance the valuable landscape. One valuable element

which is a characteristic of the landscape is open space. Growing trees and

construction of new buildings are fundamentally undesirable as they detract from the

open nature of the landscape. The emphasis will be on (re-)using existing buildings.

An exception may be made if a win-win situation can be achieved, for example if

construction of new buildings helps to meet other objectives.

b. Cultural history: preserve and enhance characteristic cultural and historical assets.

c. Water: preserve the infiltration function for De Brand.

d. Agriculture: agriculture in the Centrale Landschap has an important role in bringing

the area to life and maintaining open space. The ambition is to bring cows back into

the meadows. Dairy farms appear to be most feasible and are the best fit with this

picture. Tree nurseries with non-soil-bound cultivation and associated buildings,

intensive livestock farms and intensive horticulture are less desirable.

e. Recreation: the ambition is that the Nieuwe Warande will function as a rural

recreational area. Extensive recreation is desirable in the Centrale Landschap. The

ambition is to make the Centrale Landschap into a low-traffic area and to encourage

slow-moving forms of transport, for instance by creating (farm) walking and cycle

trails, including trails leading towards the Loonse en Drunense Duinen national park.

More intensive recreation can take place around the edges. This means that the

edges must be easily accessible by bicycle and car.

f. Preserve and enhance the ecology: plans include creating two habitat corridors (1.

Noorderbos-Burgemeester Bechtweg-Leemkuilen, 2. Noorderbos-Centraal

Landschap-De Brand), preserving the lakes, linking the lakes, improving the

9

management and maintenance of existing ditches and embankments. This process

will be beneficial to the ecology.

2. Water park in Nieuwe Warande. One precondition is that a water park must be created in

the North-East (Nieuwe Warande). This objective is taken from the Structuurvisie Water en

Riolering (Structural Vision for Water and Drainage) (SWR, 2009). It has been decided that,

in the existing urban area, rainwater will not be stored where it falls but will be collected and

transported (via blue pipes) to the edges of the city where it will be stored and used to

create water parks. There are also opportunities to use the water for agriculture (irrigation),

to enhance natural assets or for recreational activities. Creating a water park and combining

it with other functions is also an objective arising from the Klimaatadaptatie Het Groene

Woud (Climate Adaptation in the Green Forest) working group, members of which include

the municipality of Tilburg, the province and the De Dommel regional water authority. The

water park in North-East must be connected to the blue pipes coming from the city. Studies

have yet to be conducted to determine how much water the park will need to store, the

design of the water park (one lake, ditches, etc.) and where there is space for the park. This

forms part of the current process.

Procedural:

3. Resources: one precondition is that the urban agriculture concept must be implemented as

far as possible using existing resources.

a. Land ownership: the municipality owns land in the area, mainly in the West, East

and South sectors. The municipality owns some land in the Centrale Landschap and

none in the North sector. Some of the land is managed by the municipal farm and

some is rented to farmers. Much of the land has been purchased and designated for

house-building or business parks. The remainder will be used to achieve the

ambitions described here, either by retaining ownership (possibly through leases) or

through sale or land consolidation.

b. Time: the municipality has time available to manage the process. In this process

policy and implementation overlap. People on the ground will help to shape the

policy. A joint approach by GO and BO is desirable. Previously, in consultation with

GO (Theo van Dongen) it was decided that GO will be the appointing authority for

this project. Within BO (policy officer, spatial planning) and GO (area manager)

available time can be allocated to this process.

c. Funding: the financial resources available are limited. The Structuurvisie Noordoost

2020 provides a budget (‡ 2.5 million) for enhancing the natural environment and

improving the accessibility of the Nieuwe Warande. This funding will be released at a

later stage (expected in 2015), as soon as a transfer can take place based on

development of the profitable elements of the plan under the Structuurvisie

Noordoost 2020. There is also a budget to support the process under the urban

programme (2010: ‡ 25,000 (= confirmed), 2011: ‡ 30,000 and 2012: ‡ 72,000 (=

not yet confirmed)). The acquisition of land for habitat corridors and establishment

of those corridors will be funded by the province and is not included in the budgets

referred to above. The cost of implementing the concept, i.e. the actual creation of

urban farms, will be borne by the area/stakeholders.

DLG agreement: in 2010 an agreement was signed with the Dienst Landelijk

Gebied (Government Service for Land and Water Management – DLG) and

Directie Regionale Zaken (Directorate of Regional Affairs – DRZ), southern

region, of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV) to provide

support for the DLG in developing a spatial vision for urban agriculture in the

Nieuwe Warande. DLG can allocate 400 hours: 200 hours will be funded by the

Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality and 200 by the municipality.

The cost will be ‡ 21,760, to be borne by the municipality of Tilburg. These costs

will be covered by the process costs budget (for 2010) for Nieuwe Warande. A

breakdown of how this time will be allocated is given below.

ZLTO/Pure Hubs agreement: ZLTO is preparing a grant application under the

European Interreg Pure Hubs project. This application relates to a number of

activities which ZLTO is carrying out on behalf of the municipality of Tilburg. All

these activities are connected with the process of getting urban agriculture off

the ground in the Nieuwe Warande. The activities are discussed below. The total

10

cost of the activities concerned is approx. ‡ € 65,000. Tilburg will contribute €

20,000 of this. The remainder will come from the province of Noord-Brabant, the

EU and ZLTO. The costs to be borne by the municipality of Tilburg will be

covered by the process costs budget (for 2011) for Nieuwe Warande.

The costs, financial resources and potential grants are discussed in more detail

below, together with an indication of whether the available budget is adequate.

How?

As stated in the first paragraph, the aim is to create a spatial vision for the Nieuwe Warande. This

vision will provide both qualitative and functional guidance for initiatives in the urban agriculture

sector and will help to achieve the ambitions for the Nieuwe Warande as set out in the Structuurvisie

Noordoost 2020. The spatial vision for urban agriculture is supported by stakeholders in and around

the area, by the officials involved and by directors with relevant responsibilities. If urban agriculture

is to get off the ground, it is not sufficient simply to draw up a spatial planning document. It is

essential to initiate a process in which town and country meet and benefit from each other. The

different phases of the process are set out below. The process outlined has been developed following

consultation with a number of parties: farmers, local people, the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and

Food Quality, the province, Brabantse Milieufederatie, Brabants Landschap, Wageningen University

and other towns. These parties have confidence in the urban agriculture concept and are committed

to implementing it in practice. The steps in the process which are described below must be achieved

within the existing budget under the urban programme (green spaces, water, landscape). The

municipality will take an active role in developing the spatial vision for urban agriculture and will be

responsible for ensuring that it becomes a reality. In the other steps in the process, the role of the

municipality will be to provide impetus. Responsibility for achieving the desired level of ambition will,

in the main, lie with third parties.

The process can be divided into the long and the short term. The short term covers a period of 5

years and the long term a period of 10 years.

SHORT TERM

Phase 0: preparatory phase:

a. Draw up an action plan

Actions:

Prepare a draft action plan: has taken place.

Deliverable: Draft action plan

Costs: covered: BO/GO available time, DLG time (process consultancy). DLG time is covered

by the DLG/LNV agreement.

b. Prepare a force field analysis. The force field analysis will look at the players that are

important/involved in developments in the Nieuwe Warande. Which interests do they

represent? What is their formal role and informal relationship? What instruments are

available to them?

Actions: prepare a force field analysis

Who: working group

Completion: end October 2010

Deliverable: written document

Costs: covered: available time BO/GO, DLG time (process consultancy). DLG time is covered

by the DLG/LNV agreement.

c. Establish the organisational structure

Actions:

Form a working group. This has taken place. The working group will implement the

action plan. The working group has met once every four weeks, since September 2010,

11

to discuss progress. The working group consists of:

o Municipality: Floor Schalken, John Verstappen, Paul van Hoesel and, on an ad

hoc basis, DLG (Nellie Raedts) or ZLTO (Anke de Brouwer)

Form a sounding board group. This has taken place. The BMF design team will be

converted into a sounding board group. The BMF design team includes farmers from the

area, Berkel-Enschot village council, Udenhout village council, Noord neighbourhood

council, Brabants Landschap, Duinboeren, ZLTO and BMF. Before conversion into a

sounding board group, this team will help to define the content of the spatial vision for

urban agriculture in relation to a number of topics (e.g. choosing between three water

park scenarios, deciding on cycle and walking routes). The design team will then be

converted into a sounding board group which will contribute ideas with regard to the

main issues. Meetings will be held on a regular basis (once a quarter) so that the

municipality can update the sounding board group and consult it about the progress of

the process and future actions. The sounding board group can also generate ideas. The

working group will have no involvement in the future development plans of individual

farms.

g. Gain in-depth understanding, knowledge transfer and expand external contacts: urban

agriculture is on the agenda at a number of administrative levels (national government,

province and municipalities) and many new individual and professional initiatives are being

developed. It is important to learn about them and develop contacts to ensure that Tilburg is

included in the network that is being created. Wageningen University and Research Centre

(WUR) has already created an urban agriculture city network (Stedennetwerk

Stadslandbouw) which has approximately 15 members, including Tilburg. WUR will hold a

number of meetings of this network in 2010/2011 with the aim of exchanging experience,

ideas, etc. about urban agriculture and its implementation. WUR is also carrying out

research based on questions arising from the meeting (e.g. how many residents of Tilburg

12

can you feed with the agricultural area available). The first two meetings have already taken

place.

Actions: attend meetings, work on assignments arising from the meetings

Who: Floor Schalken

When: second half of 2010, first half of 2011

Costs: covered, BO available time

h. Inventory of legislation and regulations relating to urban agriculture. As discussed above,

the challenge is to integrate urban agriculture into spatial thinking and to create

development plan categories which enable urban agriculture to be incorporated easily and

naturally. A literature review will be carried out in order to identify development plan

options.

Who: Floor Schalken, and GO lawyer

When: October/November 2010

Completion: end November 2010

Deliverable: written document

Costs: BO available time, GO time (approx.40 hours)

i. Inventory of financial resources for the process: the budgets for the Nieuwe Warande

(process and implementation) are already known. The inventory will concentrate on

resources which may be obtained from other budgets (social development, traffic, etc.).

Another aim of the inventory will be to provide an overview of the grants available for

management of the process. DLG has already taken the first steps.

Who: Floor Schalken, John Verstappen, DLG (grants only)

When: inquire about other budgets when presenting the action plan to programme

managers/external parties (see d. and e. above)

Completion: November 2010

Deliverable: written document

Costs: BO available time, DLG time (20 hours funding advice). DLG time is covered by the

DLG/LNV agreement.

j. Prepare a communication plan: a communication plan is essential in order to define the

marketing communication strategy. How will the ambitions for the Nieuwe Warande and the

urban agriculture concept be brought to public attention? What communication methods are

available? Is it advisable to create a brochure? etc.

Who: Floor Schalken, DLG, ZLTO and communications department (Maaike van Goethem)

Warande), ZLTO time (40 hours), DLG time. DLG and ZLTO time is covered by agreements.

Phase 1: Area inventory

a. Prepare an area description. The area description consists of a summary of policy (national

government, province, municipality and regional water authority) which is applicable to the

area, a description of the history, a description of the spatial structure and current situation

in the area (agriculture, built-up areas, nature, recreation, environmental impact radius,

etc.) and their relationship to the surrounding areas.

DLG time is covered by the DLG/LNV agreement.

b. Inventory of land ownership. Some of the Nieuwe Warande is owned by the municipality of

Tilburg. It has been purchased with a view to future development and is managed by Arcadis

via the farm. Some of it is rented out. The inventory will identify which land we own

ourselves, which land is rented out, to whom it is rented, for how long, why it is rented to

that person and how the land is being used.

Who: Floor Schalken and Paul van Hoesel. Information will be provided by Ronald Kramer

(real estate) and Arcadis.

13

When: a meeting to discuss this topic was held on 29 September 2010. Farm/Arcadis will

supply this information by 30 October 2010.

Completion: October 2010

Deliverable: map and written document.

Costs: covered: BO/GO available time.

Phase 2: Prepare a spatial vision for urban agriculture

The spatial vision for urban agriculture is a qualitative and functional review framework

against which initiatives by farmers/residents will be tested. It is a flexible, abstract

document.

The spatial vision for urban agriculture includes:

- area description;

- existing policy;

- spatial framework (including Structuurvisie Noordoost 2020) and spatial

ambition (including development of urban agriculture concept);

- landscape quality requirements (existing qualities and characteristics, an

evaluation of these and a proposal for enhancement of these qualities).

Actions:

Collect data from various internal disciplines (working group, October/November 2010);

Concrete definition of preconditions for water park (BO water specialists,

October/November 2010);

Hold a number of thematic workshops for BMF design team (working group,

December/January 2010)

Translate the above steps into a concrete spatial vision for urban agriculture (working

group, January 2010). Also have financial calculations carried out for the draft landscape

framework (real estate? time?, January 2010).

Present the draft spatial vision for urban agriculture to various municipal disciplines

(water, nature, landscape, archaeology, etc.) (working group, January 2010)

Present the draft landscape framework to the sounding board group (working group,

February 2010)

Landscape framework to be approved by Municipal Executive (working group, March

2010)

Who: see above

When: see above.

. Completion: March 2011

Deliverable: a written document (spatial vision for urban agriculture) with map material

Costs: BO/GO available time, DLG time (workshop/public consultation: time covered by

DLG/LNV agreement), time for BO/GO disciplines (details to be defined), workshop costs (‡

500-‡1,000?).

Phase 3: Inventory of supply and demand in relation to urban agriculture

a. Inventory of supply from urban agriculture in the Nieuwe Warande: this is an inventory of

the current product offer from urban agriculture in the Nieuwe Warande and an inventory of

the wishes and ideas of farmers in the Nieuwe Warande with regard to the future of their

farms and their level of interest in diversification or enhancement. An inspirational visit will

also be organised to view a number of different urban farms.

Action:

hold discussions with all the farmers in the Nieuwe Warande with a fully operational

farm. These discussions will take place at the farm. Approximately 20 farms are

involved.

Organise an inspirational visit for farmers from the Nieuwe Warande

Who: Paul van Hoesel and Floor Schalken.

When: approx. 8 discussions were held in the period June to September 2010. The others

will be held in October/November 2010. The inspirational visit will take place in

November/December 2010.

Completion: discussions were held in late 2010

Deliverable: a report on each discussion will be prepared. In addition, all the ideas and

wishes will be collected together and shown on a map. The results will be fed back to the

14

farmers and sounding board group.

Costs: BO/GO available time, cost of inspirational visit (‡ 1,000), meeting for feedback on

discussions (€300).

b. Inventory of demand for urban agriculture from the city and villages A survey will be

conducted within the urban network to identify what the rural areas could offer (products

and services). With regard to products (food), the organisations approached will include care

institutions, restaurants, institutional kitchens, caterers, etc. The scope is regional. With

regard to services (care, etc.) approaches will be made to care institutions, educational

institutions, childcare centres, etc. The scope is the municipality of Tilburg.

Action: inventory of the urban network and hold discussions.

Who: ZLTO in conjunction with a party that is familiar with the urban network (PON?). ZLTO

is currently preparing a grant application under the European Pure Hubs project. The

inventory of the demand for urban agriculture is one of the activities for which a grant has

been requested.

When: May 2011. The grant will have been awarded by then and implementation of the

project can start.

Deliverable: a written document containing the conclusions of the survey

Costs: ZLTO time (120 hours) and external party (PON?). Time allocated by ZLTO and the

external party is covered by the agreement with ZLTO (Pure Hubs).

Phase 4: Linking supply and demand.

This phase will try to link demand for products and services from the Nieuwe Warande which

arises in the urban environment with supply (current and potential) from farmers.

a. Prepare business plans for farmers: the inventory (phase 3a) will show which farmers are

open to diversified/enhanced farming. During this phase, farmers will receive support in

drawing up concrete plans. Business plans will be prepared for a maximum of 5 farms and

tested against the spatial vision for urban agriculture (phase 2). A link with the demand for

urban agriculture (phase 3b) will also be established.

Action: prepare business plans, 5 in total.

Who: ZLTO

When: May 2011. The grant will have been awarded by then and implementation of the

project can start.

Deliverable: 5 business plans

Costs: ZLTO time (180 hours). Time is covered by the agreement with ZLTO (Pure Hubs).

b. Develop new business concepts: new business concepts will be developed based on the

supply of and demand for urban agriculture. The business concepts will focus, for instance,

on:

a. Local food: how can we improve the supply of local food? By means of a variety of

small-scale initiatives? By offering local (fresh) produce in conjunction with a

number of supermarkets? By placing local produce in various (care) institutions? etc.

b. Local care: how can the Nieuwe Warande respond to the demand for care from

Tilburg? Which concept is suitable for this? Which parties will be involved? If

appropriate, entrepreneurs/companies outside Tilburg will also be involved.

c. Childcare: ditto for childcare. Would the Kinderstad childcare organisation, for

instance, be interested in sites in the Nieuwe Warande? How can a link be

established with healthy food, education, etc.

Action: prepare three different business concepts.

Who: ZLTO with relevant stakeholders

When: May 2011. The grant will have been awarded by then and implementation of the

project can start.

Deliverable: 3 business concepts

Costs: ZLTO time (240 hours). Time is covered by the agreement with ZLTO (Pure Hubs).

c. Develop (agricultural) plots of building land owned by the municipality: the municipality of

Tilburg owns three plots of building land in the Nieuwe Warande. The intention is to use one

or more of the plots to establish an urban farm. This will enable Tilburg to set an example.

Action: develop one building plot to establish an urban farm

Who: Paul van Hoesel

When: 2011

15

Deliverable: an urban farm

Costs: GO time, Real Estate.

LONG TERM

Phase 5: Establish a network of urban/rural entrepreneurs

A network of urban/rural entrepreneurs (Groene Ruimte [Green Space] network) will be

established across the municipality (or region????) based on the idea of the Klimaatschap

(climate board). This network will include stakeholders from the urban environment, such as

care institutions, restaurants, caterers, educational institutions, and rural entrepreneurs in the

broadest sense (farmers, residents, entrepreneurs from the hotel and catering industry,

recreational entrepreneurs, etc.). It will enable these parties to meet and develop new initiatives

(business concepts) with the aim of developing urban agriculture or maintaining its sustainability

throughout the municipality of Tilburg/region (?). The first meetings will be organised by the

municipality of Tilburg/region. The intention is that this network will then be devolved to an

external party.

Action:

o Organise three network meetings with the aim of making plans for joint

development of urban/rural activities in rural areas.

Who: working group (without DLG for start of project in 2011?) and ZLTO

When: May 2011. The grant will have been awarded by then and implementation of the

project can start.

Deliverable: 4 meetings with reporting.

Costs: BO/GO available time. ZLTO time (?). Time is covered by the agreement with the

municipality.

Note: ZLTO has proposed the creation of two separate networks: one network of rural

entrepreneurs and one network of urban entrepreneurs. The ideas generated by the network

of rural entrepreneurs will provide input to the meetings of the urban entrepreneur network.

What does the working group think of this?

Throughout the entire process:

Encourage citizens’ initiatives: build on initiatives from the urban community which are

concerned with agriculture, food and rural areas from an urban demand perspective, and

learn from their experiences. Facilitate these developments with knowledge, organisational

resources and money. For example, the ‘Goei Eete’ project. Budget details to be defined.

The details of this budget have yet to be defined.
