Benjamin Onno Dikmans is a social and spatial designer working on practical solutions for a nature-inclusive society. He doesn’t believe in awareness alone, so he designs sustainable steps that people can take themselves. His aim is to create a world in which humans no longer dominate nature, but form part of a larger whole. Rewild Farming is a collaboration with designer Bram Vos and will be developed over the coming years into a growing international community.

How do you enable people to grow their own food – locally, sustainably, and at unexpected places? The Starter Kit by Rewild Farming makes small-scale food initiatives possible, anywhere. Built from discarded shipping containers, the kit contains everything needed to start straight away: water, energy, storage, workspace, a kitchen and tools.

The first Starter Kit is located on a squatted industrial site on the Fuutlaan in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Here, a local community is breathing new life into a piece of wasteland, as a place for nature restoration and sustainable food growing. Through a digital platform, several local initiatives collaborate and share knowledge and experience.

In collaboration with Bram de Vos Studio
