Vanmechelen A soothing cackling sounds from the yard in the Belgian hamlet of Plokrooi. Artist Koen Vanmechelen lives here. The chicken is his muse.

For more than twenty years, he has been successfully pioneering the phenomenon he calls ‘bio-cultural diversity.’ This article is adapted and translated from the original, published in Landleven, Nov. 2021. 28
