At Kaskantine, we are committed to community-based climate solutions and providing a space to connect.
As an off-grid organization, we are able to utilize plots of land that are temporarily available. Throughout our history, we have occupied four different locations, and currently, we can be found in Amsterdam-Slotervaart. Here, we have transformed eleven shipping containers and two greenhouses into a place for meeting, growing, eating, and collaborating.
Our programs and activities are aimed at empowering individuals and communities to take action on climate change and find joy in the process. From urban gardening, composting, and plant-based cooking to saving and redistributing food waste, building off-grid structures, and producing renewable energy, we offer a wide range of opportunities for hands-on learning and creating connections in our neighbourhood.
Join us and be part of the movement towards a more sustainable, connected and resilient future.

Can we be off-grid?Going off-grid is one of the few ways left for citizens to get access to land in the city! By being off-grid we are able to use plots of land that are only temporarily available or have low market value.
We need space and freedom to be able to make ourselves future proof and climate resilient. Some questions we've asked include:
|
Urban Homesteading Course
The Climate-Friendly Kitchen Garden Course offers practical, hands-on skills in urban gardening, cooking, composting, and basic building skills. This 8-month course will guide participants through the seasons, teaching them how to start their own garden, cook with seasonal ingredients, reduce waste and energy consumption, and build a supportive community.
|
Compost Club
For anyone who doesn't have the space, time, or knowledge to compost their kitchen scraps,
we aim to make composting as easy as possible. Discover a hassle-free solution for composting your organic kitchen waste, while connecting, learning, and collaborating with others in our community-focused space. |
Join Our Climate Garden Meetups
We have different climate discussions on specific topics and a book club. We meet offline in the garden, or in the Winter season, we meet in a neighbourhood cafe or online. We also have practical workdays where you can compost or garden with us. Join us by registering for one of the meetups!
Garden Seed Exchange
Do you have too many seeds? Half-used packets? Too many seeds for the space you have? Or maybe even some seeds you have saved from last year's crop? Would you like to share them?
You can drop them off in our seed exchange house in either a closed envelope or the original seed packaging. |
Take a Book - Leave a Book!
Would you like to give your books a second life?
Our upcycled fridge is now a free book giveaway. You can bring books you don't want anymore or take books home with you. |
