Ann Doherty, from Voedselpark Amsterdam, on the race against time to “preserve a green piece of Amsterdam for future generations”, specifically by buying the ultra fertile 42 hectare Lutkemeerpolder in Amsterdam Nieuw-West. Ann was a guest on the Dam Daily show on Broadcast Amsterdam radio station on 28 February 2022, hosted by Cathy Leung and Sara McCloskey. This is an edit of that interview.
