Description The case study research focused on four different community-based greenhouse initiatives: Onze Allotment in Almere, OudeBeer Social Organization in Dordrecht, BoereGoed Social Organisation in Naaldwijk, and Oosterwold Food Cooperative in Almere. These organisations were found via internet search with selective criteria, such as its geographical area, its operational stability, attractiveness, scale. The dates and time of the site visits were later confirmed via telephone and emails, also, the availability of the organisations was checked to confirm if the research could access the groups of volunteers and decision-makers for interviews and surveys. The in-person site research took place in May 2022 in the Netherlands, and consisted of semi-structured interviews with organisers, growers and volunteers; site visits were between three to six hours to each of the four different organisations, including their packing sites, market stalls and the local neighbourhoods; two forms of self-completed surveys were conducted, one with the organisations and the other with the customers. The surveys (in both paper and digital forms) were given out to three organisations on the same day during the site visits, in total 30 organisation surveys and 8 customer surveys were returned.
