Expedition Agroparks: Research by design into sustainable development and agriculture in the network society
This book is the culmination of years of exploration and research by author Peter Smeets, driven by his deep fascination with Dutch agricultural landscapes. Through his journey into this often-overlooked terrain, Smeets came to a powerful conclusion: the key to preserving these landscapes lies in making agriculture more efficient.
Over the past 150 years, inefficient and wasteful production methods have contributed to a significant loss in both the size and quality of valuable agricultural areas. To reverse this trend, the solution is clear: close the loops in agricultural systems and boost productivity. By doing so, we can not only protect the beauty and integrity of these landscapes but also secure a more sustainable future for farming in the Netherlands and beyond.
