Food forest Gouda

25-11-2022

November has been renamed Treevember by The Pollinators, the month when food forests are in the spotlight. Teaming up with Arjan van Essen of Stichting Groener, we designed a concept food forest in Gouda.

Food forests ensure biodiversity, local food, a healthy climate and happy people. They create edible ecosystems that function like a natural forest, producing food, storing carbon and promoting biodiversity, among other things. Kokon is so excited after this project that we want to get involved in this more often!

At Kokon, we go for social sustainability, which means that our designs are valuable not only for today's and tomorrow's residents, but for everything that lives. In this, an ecologically sustainable approach is also essential, because what good is a house if there is no planet to live on? Contributing to a food forest therefore fits well with us!
