Village 2.0

25 homes will form a circle around the ReGen Village on the outskirts of Amsterdam

Different so-called "food production units" will be situated at the center of the circle. In these greenhouse-like buildings, food including fruits, vegetables, fish and meat will be grown, in a very small space.

Almost all buildings in the ReGen Village will be enclosed in glass, which keeps the inside warm, protects them from the elements and makes it possible to grow food, even in the homes.

By using aquaponics and other highly efficient forms of food production, the ReGen Village decreases land-use for food production by more than 90 percent, so adjacent land doesn't have to be turned into farm land but can be left untouched.
