Goal
Place the point of a compass on the Coolsingel and draw a circle of 50 km around the city. The food that is grown, processed and traded within that circle is Rotterdamse Oogst. From Westland grapes to apple juice from Rhoon. From sambal from the Cape to sheep salami from the Hoeksche Waard. From dairy from the Green Heart to the cultivation of your balcony.
As little distance as possible between jack and board, between maker and smaker. Why? It is good for the environment, health, feeling and taste. Few food kilometers and therefore a low threshold for what you eat: after all, the farmer is just around the corner.
Rotterdamse Oogst wants to strengthen the regional food chain by organizing events and marketplaces. In the middle of the city, close to the consumer. Common sense meets world citizens, craft meets design, forgotten vegetables meet innovation.
