The overarching goal of the Zoöp movement is to transform as much of the economy as possible into a regenerative, human-inclusive, Zoönomy: a network of exchange of matter, energy and meaning that supports all bodies in their existence. This is only possible if enough individuals, organisations, companies, knowledge institutes and (local) governments endorse, embrace and put the model into practice. In short: the more Zoöps, the better.
“We are really excited to be able to put Zoöp in action and to
learn from it and share what we learn and to be on this adventure
with so many great collaborators.”
Aric Chen, director of Het Nieuwe Instituut
