LOLA事务所的研究有三个目标：如何提高动物福利，如何建造美丽的景观，如何生产健康的食品。人们都已是到需要建立动物农场。LOLA事务所希望能给能够扩大这个构想的尺寸，创造新的方法去生产生态猪肉和鸡蛋。首先是废弃原有的13个不合理的农业发展区域。 提出22个可持续发展的农场。在这些区域中，有两个区域已经投入使用。一个生态农场区，这个区域利用一种创新的方法饲养牲口。让这些猪能够足形成团体，热爱户外，创造新的自然景观。

No more animal unfriendly farming. No more desolate pig farming areas. No more low prices and ineffective production. LOLA has done a design research with just three goals: how to drastically improve animal welfare, have a beautiful landscape and a healthy production of meat and eggs. All at the same time.

Both consumers and producers are ready for a new approach to animal faming in the Netherlands. The focus nowadays is more and more on the welfare of animals. Take for instance the star-labels of Dierenbescherming. This new awareness has to be taken seriously and now also offers opportunities for farmers, if they are willing to notice it. New ways to produce pig meat and eggs are taking a flight.

These new ways of thinking and producing are often very small scale and local, and don’t make a big impact on the complete chain of production and consumption just yet. LOLA wants to contribute to this impact and researched / designed two new ways to produce biological pig meat and eggs at a regional scale. The first step is to get rid of the present 136 Agriculture Development Areas (Landbouwontwikkelingsgebieden), since their location is often not logical and the last years have proven that these areas don’t work. Instead, the proposal is to install 22 sustainable farming regions. Each of these regions produce as local and biological as possible. Generic eggs become Barnevelder eggs, generic pig meat becomes Bonte Bentheimer meat.

For one of these regions, two concepts have been put into practice. One is called Koplopers: a landscape structure of biological farmers estates. These estates host exemplary, innovative biological pig farms in a pleasant, public setting. The other one is called Fijnproevers. It proposes to bring pigs outside again, instead of keeping them in barns. Pigs love to be outside and be social amongst each other. Let them roll in the dirt, let them act out as a group. This is possible, when the farming area is at distance from housing areas, and in areas with a yearly shifting use of grain production, pig farming and nature development. The pigs create a whole new landscape, that is open for visitors.
