Hi! I am Will van Twuijver, a designer, researcher and cheese maker. My work focuses on the intersection of agroecology, climate adaptation, and grassroots-initiatives.
Focusing on this intersection allows me to explore alternative forms of organising based on solidarity principles, return to a human-scale and increase capabilities to work with natural processes. I have several years of involvement in grassroots initiatives that explore such alternatives, including projects that involve Community Supported Agriculture, food preservation collectives and home-brewing.
In 2012 I graduated with a bachelor’s in interior architecture at Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam, followed by a master’s in Collaborative & Industrial Design at the Aalto University, Finland in 2019. To further deepen my understanding of sustainability and design, I completed multiple courses on related topics. Such as a minor study on Sustainability, a certified permaculture design course, a two-year course in biodynamic agriculture and cheese making. Currently, I work as a part-time farmer and cheese maker, design researcher and am active as board member of Toekomstboeren.
The workshop ‘Toolmaking for a Human-Sized Agriculture’ focuses on the relationship between tool design, the human body and the land.
The Dumpster Dive Canning Workshop was hosted on 26th of November 2016 at Temporary, a project space in Helsinki.
