Talk: From Sheep to System – Agriculture and Wool’s Economy

  • New Order of Fashion Torenallee 22 (map)

This day investigates how sheep farming has developed in the Netherlands (and similar contexts), why sheep are kept today, and why wool has become a low-value byproduct. It blends a bit of history with a systemic view: how did we get to a point where raising sheep is mostly for meat or land management, and wool is nearly worthless? We will explore what a regenerative agricultural system could look like and how sheep-farming could fit within that system. Most importantly, we seek to understand the characteristics and challenges of modern-day agriculture.
