Red Ons Groen (Save our Green) will populate the plaza in front of the Stopera with “butterfly” children and people of all ages in colourful animal costumes. With this, we want to put biodiversity on the agenda!

The initiative Behoud Lutkemeer and Voedselpark Amsterdam have launched the campaign Red ons Groen. Together, we want to prevent that Proptimize BV, will build a 55,000 m2 (that is seven soccer fields) distribution hall on Amsterdam’s last fertile agricultural land. With Red ons Groen, we will not accept that the destruction of fertile soil is used for the profit of real estate developers with no connection to the city and land. Now, in March 2024, it is more important than ever that we show our support for Red on Groen because for this first quarter of the year the construction of the largest distribution center is scheduled and the partial revision of the zoning plan is on the municipal agenda. This is the last chance for our politicians to stop the construction plans and make space for community-led urban agriculture.
