What is Circlefarming about?
-
Circlefarming makes it possible to grow a wide diversity of food locally, on small fields, giving communities easier access to a local, plant-based diet. Working the land themselves, not just buying from it, gives people a new connection to their food, and small communities a path to self-sufficiency.
-
Circlefarming offers a new agricultural method that makes the transition to regenerative farming easier and more effective. This is a form of agriculture that restores the soil instead of robbing it, using accessible, safe techniques that make small-scale crop cultivation more feasible and comfortable. It's especially well suited to the Netherlands' increasingly wet conditions.
-
The space between Circlefarming's circular crop rows becomes a new landscape for animals, plants and people, with green corridors connecting it to nearby nature reserves. More variation in flora means more biodiversity, healthier soil, and a landscape where nature and farming merge again.
-
A local community both farms alongside Circlefarming and becomes its main market for the harvest, through local catering, shops and a Circlefarm shop. We believe people should know what they eat and where it comes from, whether through participating in a Circlefarm or through education in schools and community gardens.
