VOKO Utrecht

VOKO stands for “Voedsel Kollektief”: food collective. This means all members are owners of VOKO and have an equal say. All members are volunteers as well: in this way everybody contributes to the process, and the costs remain low. Fresh, environmentally friendly and locally produced food becomes available for everybody in Utrecht. This green community has existed since 2014 and has over a hundred active members. The distribution point is Café Averechts and all farmers that work with VOKO are located within 35 kilometers from a central point in Utrecht: the Neude.

VOKO contributed to our podcast series. Listen to the episode here and learn more about their vision on alternative food systems and the role of food in sustainability transitions.
