🎯 Découvrez notre itinéraire !

🌍 Cette année, nous partons explorer l'agriculture urbaine dans 4 pays en Europe du Sud : Espagne, France, Italie et Grèce.

🏙 Nous mènerons principalement notre étude dans les métropoles, où l'agriculture urbaine et périurbaine est souvent plus développée mais nous ferons aussi halte dans de moins grandes villes car celle-ci peut y prendre d'autres formes, tout aussi intéressantes.

🚵‍♀️ Au total, c'est 13 villes que nous allons découvrir et plus de 3000 km que nous allons parcourir à vélo, en trois mois.

📆 Le départ est prévu le 1er avril !

🎯 Discover our itinerary!

🌍 This year, we are going to explore urban agriculture in four countries in South Europe: Spain, France, Italy and Greece.

🏙 We will mainly carry out our study in metropolises, where urban and peri-urban agriculture is often more developed, but we will also stop off in smaller cities because it can take other, equally interesting forms.

🚵‍♀️ In total, we will discover about 13 cities and travel more than 3,000 km by bike in three months.

📆 The departure is planned for the first of April!

🌿 Nuremberg supports a wide range of greening and urban agriculture projects. In particular, it has set up a tree sponsorship scheme to green the city, with the aim of making citizens pro-active in their neighbourhoods.
This is what gave Katie Snow and other Nuremberg residents the idea of creating small edible gardens ("essbare stadt") in the heart of the city.

➡ 17/06/23, Garten des Südens : Located in the middle of a residential street, the Garten des Südens was created in April 2022 with the help of the city's community of urban farmers. This community is federated by BluePingu, an NGO based in Nuremberg that facilitates communication between gardens, the pooling of equipment and the sharing of knowledge, particularly about fundings.

🍅 In this garden, anyone can come and harvest their own vegetables, berries, herbs and flowers for personal consumption. The garden is self-managed by a small group of volunteers, and although it is not mandatory, harvesters are invited to help with the gardening work.

♻ As part of an eco-responsible approach, the garden has been created by recovering and recycling a wide variety of waste materials from the city and donations from citizens: compost from the zoo, pallets from market gardeners, bamboo tutors and seeds from citizens, a toolbox, a metal structure, dry stone from building sites, etc.

🌻 Thank you very much to Katie for the presentation and tour of the Garten des Südens and this overview of urban agriculture initiatives in Nuremberg.

👩‍🌾 Munich is home to many forms of urban gardening !

➡ 13/06/23, Kleingärten: These small gardens emerged during the industrial era. Initially linked to the working class, they were important in providing food for German citizens during the Second World War. Today, they remain very popular in Germany. In all towns and cities, people can rent one of these small gardens to grow their own vegetables or simply to relax on weekends.

➡ 12/06/23, StadtAcker Garten : Located in the residential district of Ackermannbogen, which was built in the 2000s on a former military zone, the StadtAcker garden was created in 2017 following a request from a neighbourhood association and thanks to financial support from the city. StadtAcker is a community garden open to all, where people work together as a collective on a single plot of 1000 m2. The garden is organised into thematic groups (flowers, herbs, vegetables, compost, beehives) and everyone can learn from each other while gardening and attending workshops.

➡ 13/06/23, ÖBZ: this institute works every day to educate young and old about today's ecological challenges. In the park next to the institute building, the ÖBZ has a community garden, where residents can come and garden cooperatively - and not just! Some parts of the garden are used by other associations, to help vulnerable women for example, or by schools - a highschool cultivates dye plants with students for chemistry lessons for example.

➡ 13/06/23, Grünspitz: It is located on a square in the heart of Munich. Greencity, an NGO dedicated to making the city greener and more sustainable, has set up a community bar and a small community garden. Here, citizens can meet up, attend various events or even yoga classes, and grow their own vegetables and herbs by renting a highbed for €50 a year.

🙏 Many thanks to George, Heidrun, Konrad, Sebastian and Svenja for their time and the really interesting visits we had together.

🌷Several initiatives of urban gardening are flourishing in Praha !

➡ 08/06/23 : Metro Farm 🐤 : Located on an island 4 km from Prague's historic city centre, the farm includes 900 m2 of collective market gardening fields, where all members help and learn from the most experienced to cultivate according to the principles of permaculture. More than 150 individual plots also enable many local people to come, garden and grow their own vegetables, in this beautiful environment that gives the impression of being far from the city. It's also a place where schoolchildren learn while having fun, looking after animals and gardening. In this way, Metro Farm is raising awareness among young and old of the importance of more sustainable production. Unfortunately, this initiative, which is widely supported by the local municipality, is destined to disappear in a few years due to development plans for the island. https://metrofarm.cz

➡ 08/06/23 : Prazelenina 🥂 : Created in 2012 by two friends and then developed thanks to the interest of residents, Prazelenina is now one of the oldest community gardens in the capital. The café-garden has moved four times since its creation because of building projects, but the citizens' association that runs the garden has not changed. Around thirty volunteer members look after the upkeep of the site and serve refreshment at the bar. This way, around a hundred amateur gardeners can rent 1 to 2 m2 of land to grow fruit, vegetables, flowers, or herbs. Numerous festive and educational events are also organised to bring residents together and share convivial moments in this green space, well integrated into the urban area of Prague 7. https://prazelenina.cz/ ; Week-end à Prague - Échappées belles - YouTube 1:13:30 – 1:13:56

🙏 Many thanks to Stepan, the main coordinator of Metro Farm, and Veronika, a member of the Prazelenina association for many years, for their kindness and the time they gave us.

[ENGLISH]

➡ 01/06/2023 : Sophiengarten : Initiated in 2015 by a few young people, part of the place is intended to be an open space for everyone to enjoy. The other part is a 140 m2 garden with a dozen of highbeds, which the members cultivate collectively, for a very affordable price.

🌿💪Vienna is the cradle of many urban agriculture initiatives! Neighbourhood gardens, associations aiming to promote sustainable agriculture in the city, allotment gardens offered by the municipality to citizens, research projects, but also private companies initiatives: many people are involved in creating a sustainable city and a great place to live.

🙏 Many thanks to Kristof for having showed us around Sophiengarten and to Geraldine who welcomed us and helped us in our search for urban agriculture initiatives in Vienna.
