I am achiving that by receiving my necessities from other farmers. Those necessities should idealy be the waste streams of those farmers. While delivering my products to the restaurants, I will strengthen partnerships by offering my own waste products: crop residues (to use it as soil enricher) and raw organic materials (to use it to create animal food through insect breeding) to other farmers. Besides that, I have some assets to offer: little investment, outdoor space, a tractor and knowledge on composting, that I would like to deploy for common usage of the farmers society. This might be providing my knowledge on composting to others or buying technologies together with other farmers, where everyone can benefit from.";"Firstly, I need 1t of wood chips. I can get that from three other farmers: Gardeners G.V., governmental recreational area manager, fruit gardens. Since the fruit gardens are organic, I will take 1t of their waste of wood chips. Secondly, I need 10t of compost. Since nobody is producing compost, I need to invest in new technologies. There are 5 technologies, which produce compost: Worming compost, largescale composting, smallscale composting, biomeiler and organic material storage. However, I do not have the means to buy the technology myself so I have to partner with other farmers, who are also in need of compost. These are: Gardeners G.V., Gardener Klein, Allotment garden, Parkmanagement, fruit garden, care farm. Since they are not organic I cannot partner with them. (Until now it is unclear, if they are all producing organic. If they are organic: I would prefer partnering with Gardener Klein on a technology, because the transportation ways are quite close between us. Additionally, looking at the assets, buying a Biomeiler together with Gardener Klein would also ensure our necessities.) Additionally I could invest in a worm composting together with the fruit garden. The fruit garden would also receive animal feed from the worm composting. There should be found a way to get compost of the organic waste of the households. Thirdly, I will need organic manure. The farmers, who are producing that are Agricultural contractor, cattle farmer Nagel, Horse stables, dairy farm and cattle farm Benji. However, since they are not organic I cannot use them for my farm. Additionally, there are no technologies for the production of organic manure. Lastly, I have two outputs: Crop residues, which I use myself as the soil enriches into the underground and my raw organic material waste can be used for different technologies: Worm composting, large and small scale composting, dry digestion and insect breeding. Hereby I would invest the ton in insect breeding, which could produce animal feed.";"The best activities would be to buy my own technologies, since I am the only organic farmer, except for the fruit garden, in the area.

The other farmers might see, that I am putting huge emphasis on this my buying my own technologies that they decide to change and would like to become organic as well. Negative externalities might be, that I cannot take any of nonorganic wastes from the area around so I have to order it from somewhere else, which increases transportation costs as well as emissions.

On the \"input\" side of our farm we could see what other entrepeneurs in the area can offer. Our money situation doesn't allow for further investments next to the small scale composting. Sourcing our necessities locally and sustainably will increase our value, assuming our value proposition to be us creating a positive impact on a social and ecological level.";"Using small scale composting to treat our waste is number one, this has already been descibed. If we would implement this we still have 4 employees and some indoor space available. Being a care farm, I want to give all of my employees a meaningful job. Looking at the map, the Symbicorp are our neighbours. Perhaps there is a possibility to use their coffee grounds to set up a oyster mushroom farm. We can supply the manpower and the space needed cheaply, since the labour itself is already of value for us. Oyster mushrooms can be sold just like our other products or be can be used for instance in cafetaria in the Symbicorp park. They allegedly like sourcing materials locally, this would fit right in there. Next to this, I think it's important to form a partnership to source gas or heat from a sustainable local source, since this is one of our resources that come from finite sources.";"Keep on sourcing as locally as possibly, try to form partnerships to help close loops to create the biggest positive impact we can. Make sure all of our employees have work.";"Positive: Increasing clientele due to a bigger positive impact. Negative: … Can't really think of anything.

These can be sold. Creating human capital is our core business being a care farm.";"As a care farm, we are in a unique position where labour itself is of great value to the company. This allows for \"deals\" where we can provide labour to make up for the money that we don't really have. We have a wide variety of necessities that we could try to source from waste streams of oher companies in the Hof van Geluk. If it's needed to form partnerships, we could consider not using the compost we create from our waste ourselves, but rather use it to trade. To maximise the amount of materials we can source locally it's important to communicate our needs clearly to other entrepenours in the area.";"In my opinion, clear communication is a key capability in finding valuable partnerships which are essential in enabling circular flows. We don't have a lot of waste, and everything that we do have we can reuse ourselves, so we're fully dependant on others.";"The electricity, and heat are the only two resources that might come from finite resources. Luckely, even those two can be sourced sustainably as well, we're in a good environment for that with a lot of organic waste streams from companies surrounding us that could be processed into gas or heat. We can reuse all of our waste.";"The care aspect of my farm is the number 1 priority. I want all of my eployees to be able to work on farming related activities. Furthermore, the farm only accepts and produces organic materials and products. In this spirit, minimizing the environmental footprint is goal on it's own. As little waste as possible should be left unused and usage of all materials should be optimal.";"The food/endproduct has value to the customers, but because of the care aspect of the farm also the labour itself has value, to the employees and their caretakers. Furthermore, the waste can be processed using for small scale composting, transforming the waste into a valuable asset too.";"The farm does not only produce 100% organic products, it does this locally, while providing locals with a distance to the labour market with a purposeful and meaningful daily job. Treating all of our waste as a raw material we can work with just adds on to this. Being ecofriendly is a marketing strategy on it's own. The added positive social impact increases the likeability of the farm even more. According to a survey conducted by Nielsen, polling 30.000 constomers in 60 countries, 55% of the global online consumers are willing to pay more for a product or service if the company providing it is comitted to creating a positive social and environmental impact. The value proposition that I thus propose is that by buying our products you enjoy fresh organic products, while helping us create a positive impact on both a social and an environmental level. Not only good for you, but also for the people and world around you.";"New products in the future might introduce new waste streams. It's good to anticipate on this when choosing methods to treat our current waste. Since we're at a farm, it is highly likely that future waste streams will also be organic, choosing a scalable solution that can treat most organic material would be potentially benificial. This makes it more likely that we can stay wastefree, being able to upkeep the \"as positive as posible\" impact on the environment, which is an important part of our value proposition.";"The farm has a small store. This is where we interact with our customers. The small scale allows for us to gather feedback directly from our customers.";"To get our customers involved in closing the loop, enabling them to contribute to even more ecologically responsible products in the shelves, we could ask them to bring their organic waste to the store. Perhaps we can do some sort of dicount as an incentive. We can use their waste in our small scale composting situation. This way, they will really feel like they're contributing.";"We will have to source less compost, because we can produce this from our own waste (and perhaps our customers' waste as well).

After having made the investent for a small scale composting rig there is some leftover space and employees. Perhaps we can set up a collaboration with the Symbicorp neighbours to use their coffeegrounds to make an oyster mushroom farm, combined with our extra employees and leftover space. This would benifit both of our customers: our eployees and the product buyers. Last but not least: since my farm will be waste free we might attract some eco tourism, which would also benifit the rest of the Hof van Geluk.

About myself, I think I like to have systems solutions that are very meticulous, but that requires much time, so I learnt I can also achieve a particular solution in a shorter time with a little bit of effort.";"It was interesting to learn how many different thinks you have to consider, so it is a way of system thinking that really makes you realise that you can't focus solely on one aspect. It is all about the big picture. Agricultural regions in particular have many and diverse barriers when achieving circularity, and there is also several actors involved whose interests can't always point in the same direction. Knowing you will have to compromise at some point in order to get somewhere is also an important idea, because sometimes you might feel like betraying your values, but it could be the only way of pushing forward.";"It was too little time to achieve something so complicated as chanching my study habits, so I haven't learned anything else regarding that point.";"MSc";"33";"control_pre";"control" "34";"By partnering up with fruit gardens JamJam, we believe we can pull together our ressources to make the right investments that would benefit both our companies. Turning our waste flows into biogas, for instance would greatly help both of us to develop more sustainably in the future. Moreover, their commitment to organic foods is a great inspiration to us and we believe that this partnership will be very informative for us to accomplish similar goals";"Fruit gardens JamJam has place in their store for organic products. Although the nursery mainly produces for regional and national markets, it might be fruitful to protoype fully organic and sustainable products on local markets first to get an initial idea of their reception. Jamjam would provide the ideal spot for us to do that, and gives us something to strive for given their rigour in evaluating how green certain products are.";"turning the company's own wastes into a sustainable form of gas or energy would greatly facilitate greening our energy supply";"it would simultaneously be a solution for most of our waste disposal while also taking care of part of our energy need, which is right now, meaning we have little say over where it comes from";"We could produce new forms of financial captial by turning the coconut fibers into packaging and selling it to our neighbours searching for more sustainable waysof packaging. This in turn could alleviate more enivronmental stress that other forms of packaging might bring with them (i.e. plastics)";"We will surround ourselves with likeminded people, interested in growth while simultaneously holding the importance of sustaianble production at heart. Local farmers pioneering in this area are therefore of great interest to us to ally ourselves with.";"For one, it would be of great importance to invest in machinery that would allow us to turn the majority of our organic wastes, and more importantly our crop residues, into productive ressources. We hope to achieve this through converting it into biogass, and believe there will be similar interests in this from our partners' side. We have the great opportunity to have accumulated some capital that would help us greatly along the way, along with the necessariy space ot build it and manpower to to see to its maintenance. However we would still require more knowledge about this form of power production , necessary vehicules (either a shredder or a tractor), and government authrorisation.";"The ressources will be renewable as they are the byproduct of our nursery's output, and our growthoriented mindset will result in more of the material flowing in, which in turn would allow for more ressources to fuel us by way of biogas.";"The nrusery aims at increasing its production capacity while simulteanously moving towards more sustainable production methods. Albeit that prices might not rise to very large extents, more profit is hoped to be gained through the accrued interest for the product itself. Our main challenge in greening our compnay lies in finidng more sustainable sources of energy and gas, on which we are quite reliant.";"The nursery produces important amounts of green waste, most importantly crop residue. However we do not see this as waste, but rather potential ressources which, with the right technology, can be composted and used by our neighbours in the pursuit of their company's endeavours. Moreover there is an interest in fibers for packaging purposes around the area, the need for which could be eased if our coconut fibers, which right now are waste, would be used to that end";"Agriculutral industries tned to have a negative reputation when it comes to sustainability. We believe that our movement towards greener practices will pave the way for others to do the same. There is a lot of demand on consumers' side for more sustainable products, and we beleieve that, by not rising prices to disproportionate amounts, we can satisfy this need.";"Right away, adopting more sustainable soruces of gas and energy will greatly reduce the nursery's footprint. As we increase production, so will the byproducts, and if we manage to recycle them and turn them into natural gas, then consequently our share of green energy might also increase.";"When meeting our goal of developing organic products, we can begin sampling them with the space JamJam has to what the reaction of customers would be to such a product and therethrough get an initial understanding of demand.";"We really want the world to know of the capabilities of producing sustainably and stand as proof to the ability to do so effectively, hence we will make it an integral part of our marketing strategy.";"if more agricultral, and other, industries were to follow our example and opt for more ustainable sources of ernergy, this might in turn encourage energy producers to orient themselves towards these sustainable forms too.";"if we are able to meet our ambitions, we will stop producing waste and turn all of it into ressources, used not just for us, but by pooling together the ressources of all agricultural industries in the sector, be able to fuel an important amount of local industries";"we will play an important role within this. Thanks to the nature of our production, we rely little on suppliers aside from seeds, which we can aim at producing ourselves. If our own product returns to us, we could either put it back on the market at a discount if it is still intact, or we could use it as fuel for our biogas energy.";"we are already quite present on the regional and national markets and do not expect our energy transtion and sustainable orientation to be of great impact on our established audience since we will not bring luch change to the price of our product. We do expect the demand of our product to increase, however, as we will now also hold a significant place among organic and sustaianble products. Moreover our expansion into the local market would bring the additional benefit of developing a loyal customer base";"purchasing our product will lower the footrpint of people who would otherwise buy less sustainable alternatives. Moreover companies using them can use this lowered footrpint in their own marketing strategies and thereby take a firmer foothold within the sustainable market?";"by partnering up with neighbouring industries, we will be able to avoid the costs of acquisiton of cetrain machinery in return for our pooling our ressources together";"in the event that others built similar machinery to the one we are interested in, it would be interesting to find an agreement where our furnishing or crop residue in return for natural gas.";"stockpiling our crop residue would provide for a buffer in the event of poor production";"producing different goods from biproducts, investing futher into biogas and switiching to sustainable forms of agriculutre";"";"if the company grows, this could result in more job opportunities for people, preferably around the area so that we keep investing in ourselve";"markepting the product as organic and sustainable would increase revenues in terms of demand for the product (instead of a price increase)";"Nursery";"reverse logsitics, looking back into the supply chain and see how to impact that, and the challenges of finding ways of giving value to waste";"my social science background meant i foud myself trying to think more people oriented";"there were few different kinds of waste so it was really about finding the most efficient outlet for them while compensating for the high demands in ernegy and gas.finding the right partnerships is what makes up the biggest challenge";"interacting in groups brouhgt about the human dimenseion as everyone goes into these processes from a different mindset which can be quit illuminating sometimes";"i learned to care more for the ressources avalaible and trying to conceive of them as the ressources they potentially are.";"it was challenging to learn how to learn how to effectively and systematically go through the available technologies and potential partnerships.";"MSc";"34";"control_pre";"control" "35";"By negotiating fair en equally beneficial deals.
