This project investigates eco-communities and sustainable practices by documenting two distinct sites in Wageningen: a food forest located near Wageningen University and Ppauw, an eco-village situated in another part of the city.

​

The food forest, established four years ago, stands as a pioneering example of permaculture in the Netherlands. Designed to function as a self-sustaining ecosystem, it utilizes renewable resources and contributes to local biodiversity.

Ppauw, the eco-village, reflects a community-oriented approach to living in harmony with nature. Emphasizing collective action and ecological awareness, it serves as a living experiment in alternative ways of inhabiting and interacting with the environment.

​

Together, these two spaces reveal evolving relationships between humans and nature, offering insight into sustainable innovation, ecological design, and the possibilities of regenerative living.
