Circle Farming is developing an agricultural method with circular fields that combine efficiency and sustainability. Working in circles creates spaces for nature, recreation, and biodiversity.
Circular Farming: Sustainable, Innovative, and People-Centered
Over half of the Dutch landscape is used for agriculture. Since World War II, our food production has become so efficient that as much as 60% is used for export. However, the side effects, such as nitrogen emissions and soil depletion, are borne locally. Regenerative agriculture offers a more sustainable alternative but often remains small-scale. Instead of a tractor, a robot arm rotates slowly, while people – from the city – work on the crops from special beds, assisted by AI.
