A town in the Netherlands will not let you live there unless you grow food on 50% of your land

Oosterwold, a Dutch town, mandates residents cultivate food on their properties. This unique urban experiment balances nature and living with low density. Residents manage their plots, growing produce for personal use and local businesses. A food hub offers resources to assist residents with agricultural practices. This initiative aims to enhance sustainability and the area's agricultural character.
