About Yuanye Spring Borgarbú
Yuanye Spring er fræðsluaðstaða sem samþættir menntun, landbúnað og tækni á óaðfinnanlegan hátt. Búskapur þjónar ekki aðeins sem dýrmætt tæki til að kenna börnum um sögu og umhverfisáskoranir heldur býður hann einnig upp á tækifæri fyrir þau til að kanna sjálfbæra lífshætti á jörðinni og víðar. Yuanye Spring stefnir að því að efla landbúnaðarreynslu barna með auðgaðri verklegri menntun sem nær yfir búskap, tækni, sögu og sjálfbærni. Markmiðið er að lyfta skynjun á búskap sem starfsgrein og hvetja fleiri nemendur til að stunda nám í landbúnaði.

- Unique Properties
- Yuanye Spring is an educational facility that seamlessly integrates education, agriculture, and technology. We believe that farming not only serves as a valuable tool for teaching children about history and environmental challenges but also offers an opportunity for them to explore sustainable living on Earth and beyond.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 8000m2 of urban farm.

- URBAN FARM, EDUCATION
- Production Technology
- All materials were upcycled, found, installed or made locally by hand.
- Design Challenge
- Farming Knowledge: Feedback from children and parents in pre-and-post surveys indicates a greater enjoyment of spending time at the farm compared to indoor play areas and classrooms. However, it's worth noting that the results vary based on weather conditions, with high temperatures impacting satisfaction levels. The farm acknowledges the need to further emphasize the rewarding aspects of hard work in a harsh environment, highlighting the importance and necessity of resilience.
- Research
- Net-zero construction: Through active participation in the construction process and the utilization of bamboo and salvaged materials, children have contributed to advancing our net-zero design application. By employing sustainable materials, we have achieved a remarkable 72% reduction in carbon footprint compared to other urban farms.
Circular ecosystem: The farm fosters a circular system where food and water are continuously recycled and reused. Children learn the value of waste reduction and repurposing, understanding that not everything needs to be discarded. They witness the transformation of waste into natural fertilizer and the recycling of rainwater on-site, instilling a sense of responsibility, respect, and care for food resources. The farm also supports a rich biodiversity, with the presence of 20 local species of insects, fish, and birds. Children discover the importance of inclusive environmental design, enabling harmonious coexistence with other species.
Endurance: Our program challenges children to endure physical hardships uncommon in more privileged settings. Tasks such as sawing bamboo, working under the scorching sun, and temporarily disconnecting from smartphones build resilience and persistence. Considering the impact of climate change on multiple countries, cultivating resilience in the face of challenging environments becomes crucial for their future adulthood. - Inspiration
- Yuanye Spring aims to enhance children's agricultural experience through an enriched hands-on education encompassing farming, technology, history, and sustainability. Our goal is to elevate the perception of farming as a profession and inspire more students to pursue studies in agriculture.
Given the current demographic trends in China, where the average age of farmers is 53 years old, it is crucial to revitalize traditional farming practices to ensure a food future. - Project Duration
- 2022-2024, WENZHOU, CHINA
- Operation Flow
- Yuanye Spring remains committed to improvement and optimizing the learning experiences for children. By fostering sustainable practices, promoting resilience, and instilling a deeper appreciation for the natural world, we aim to shape future generations with the knowledge and skills needed to address the challenges of the ever-changing world.
