We will dive into real-world challenges in the urban food cycle, from soil to harvest to table to toilet and back to the soil. Challenges are opportunities for innovation and creative solutions. We will explore new applications of existing and appropriate technology, creating local human scale solution in an industrial world.
The aim is to produce a working prototype within the time frame of the Hackathon. The prototype may be serve as a starting point for further development with your team, a challenge owner or sponsor.
All projects will be showcased on the Mindhoven website, where it will get exposure and opportunities may develop to bring your design “to market”.
There will be prizes to win, either in cash or in-kind.
AUDIENCE
The Urban Farming Hacakthon is of interest to anyone in urban agriculture, design, art, hardware and software technology, business development and marketing.
Especially young professionals and seniors are invited to participate. We aim at a good balance between men and women, between locals/expats from the Eindhoven region and the wider Euro region, including Belgium, Luxemburg and Germany in particular.

Wat is nu precies de inhoud van de permacultuur basiscursus, soms beter bekend als PDC of Permaculture Design Course?
Tijdens de cursus voerden we gesprekken met de gemeente van Boxtel over de plek waar we zitten aan Het Klaverblad 13. Geïnspireerd door de nieuwe inzichten in Right Livelihood, de fantastische plek en de visionaire taal van het Legaat Van Cooth ontstond het idee om een eigen plan te schrijven voor de herontwikkeling van de lokatie.
Wie een PDC in 8 zaterdagen en een designweekend wil doen kan dit voorjaar terecht bij Martijn Ballemans in Den Bosch. De cursus start op zaterdag 6 april. Registreer via Martijn’s website puurpermacultuur.nl.
Voor wie een Permacultuur Ontwerpcursus (PDC) in het Nederlands wil volgen deze zomer kan terecht op de Augustehoeve in Elsendorp.
Could this be the start of a Permacultue Design Cookbook? What have you cooked up for your PDC presentation?
Soil samples showed a generally poor soil, typical of volcanic soils. The exceptions were soil from the under the compost bins and one of the veggie patch beds, which showed good nutrient levels and an almost neutral pH.
