Roots & Remedies
Roots & Remedies is a Dutch foundation that holds and supports real-world experiments in food, land, energy, and governance. We prototype ownership and economic models that are less extractive and more relational.
A Dutch foundation stewarding regenerative experiments in food, land, energy, and governance.
A small ecosystem with long horizons
We work with venues, food labs, land projects, and home-scale infrastructure. Some are public, some stay in the background, all are treated as long-term experiments.

Urban context
How we work
Stewardship over ownership
The foundation holds assets and IP so that projects can focus on culture, craft, and relationships instead of extraction.
Regenerative economics
We aim for flows that replenish people, places, and ecosystems rather than drain them. Profit is a tool, not the goal.
Prototyping in the real economy
Experiments only count if they touch reality: paying staff, serving guests, tending land, and working with real constraints.
Transparency at the right depth
We keep structures intelligible to collaborators while avoiding performative over-disclosure.
Collaborate or co-build
We co-build with people ready to put down roots and test new economic forms.
