Home to Fork
Facing the False Sense of Food Security
Master thesis
(2025)
-
Y. Oh, O. Klijn, R. Kuijlenburg, Brook Teklehaimanot Haileselassie, M.E.A. Haffner
This thesis addresses the hidden crisis of food insecurity in the Netherlands, where industrial agriculture has led to nitrogen pollution, biodiversity loss, and fragile ecosystems. Focusing on Midden-Delfland, the project proposes “Home to Fork,” a sitopic community that integrates food production, preparation, and consumption into residential design. By designing housing for 100 households in the Duifpolder, the project explores strategies that enable residents to cultivate, process, and share food at multiple scales and skill levels. Drawing from nutritional anthropology, regenerative food systems, and sustainable development, the research examines how architecture can empower communities to reduce reliance on industrial supply chains and adopt regenerative, localized practices. The project reframes food not only as sustenance but as a driver of community cohesion, environmental stewardship, and spatial innovation, positioning architecture as a catalyst for systemic change toward resilient and autonomous ways of living.
