Sustainable food on a budget in Lunetten

Why a cookbook?


Residents with a small budget want to eat organic, sustainable or healthy food, but often find it too expensive. In Duurzaam Utrecht 2030 we investigated what people want. In conversations with visitors of the free shop Lunetten the idea for a cookbook came up. In the coming period we will collect the favorite sustainable, healthy and affordable recipes of local residents. We try out these recipes together. Then we place a photo of the dish with the recipe and a piece about why the recipe is a favourite on this web page.

 

Cookbook app

From February to April 2025, computer science students from Utrecht University will develop prototypes for a cookbook app in co-creation with local residents and organizations in Lunetten.

Join the co-creation sessions on 4 and 18 March 2025 in de Musketon. (see agenda on homepage).

After that, we want to have one of these prototypes actually made. Information will follow. Do you have an idea or would you like to join the discussion? Mail ineke@duurzaamutrecht2030.nl
