A Regenerative Cultivation Community on Samsø

How can a Samsø village be transformed into a self-sufficient community?

At the exhibition '70 % Less CO2' you can explore the project 'A Regenerative Cultivation Community on Samsø'.

The project is based on the sustainable conversion of a local community on Samsø with its starting point in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), an increasingly popular economic model whereby farmers and villagers share risks and yields.

The idea is to compress crop cultivation onto smaller areas by using greenhouses and dense planting, and to cultivate all year round to make the community self-sufficient. In this way, it would be possible to shrink the carbon footprint of transporting, storing and selling the produce, and the local populace would be closely linked to their food sources.

The project envisions how taking an innovative approach to a local farm can create a new framework for more responsible production while fostering community spirit, quality of life and a viable local community at the same time. The design can also be applied to other small villages in Denmark.
