The Netherlands, a small, densely populated country with 54% of its surface area devoted to agriculture, has achieved high productivity through monoculture, homogeneity, and heavy inputs. However, this has come at the cost of soil degradation, biodiversity loss, emissions, and accelerated ecosystem decline. Additionally, the Netherlands is facing a housing crisis driven by limited construction, immigration, rising housing prices, and a lack of affordable options. Consequently, new construction in the coming years is inevitable to meet the growing demand. However, the production of building materials in the current Dutch built environment significantly contributes to anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Given the urgent need to reduce GHG emissions and achieve net cooling impacts, this research proposes an alternative way of living in the Dutch countryside by integrating nature, agriculture, and housing.
