Boekel Ecovillage
Country : Netherlands
In Boekel Ecovillage we will provide sustainably in our daily needs. By doing so, we contribute solutions for all Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) , in collaboration with our environment. That is why we have also received the EU SDG Award for SDG 11!
What we have created in Boekel is a district of 36 climate-adaptive and climate-positive rental homes of which 4 informal care homes and two houses for refugees, with opportunities for our own food supply , our own energy supply , ecological water purification and sustainable businesses .
We have built the ecovillage together with the contractor and our nature architect Huub van Laarhoven who designed the houses in three circles based on principles of Sacred Geometry. Ecodorp Boekel is made possible in part by the European Regional Development Fund, the government and the province of Noord-Brabant in the context of OPZuid.
