Elk project pakt een knelpunt op om de teelten duurzamer te maken en voor te bereiden op de geschetste toekomst van de open teelten in 2030. De toekomstbeelden schetsen een toekomst van agrarische functies die in diverse ringen rondom stedelijke kernen zijn gegroepeerd: dichtbij de stad kleinschalige verweven belevingslandbouw tot verder weg van de stad grootschalige productielandbouw
