FOODCITYBOOST is a trailblazing project that will help develop the foundations for turning urban jungles into lush, green, food-producing hubs! We imagine cities where rooftops, balconies, and even vertical spaces are bursting with greenery and fresh produce. This is the future that FOODCITYBOOST is planting seeds for, whilst tackling the major contemporary difficulties such as: climate change, biodiversity loss, and the great divide between urban, peri-urban, and rural areas.
FOODCITYBOOST is on a mission to create cityscapes where urban farming is a cornerstone of sustainable development. With FOODCITYBOOST, the future of urban living is not just green; it's bursting with flavors, colors, and life!
The living lab approach is user centered, open innovation, systematic and user co-creation in real life communities and settings. The FOODCITYBOOST living labs are situated in:
FOODCITYBOOST will bring together a diverse range of stakeholders from various cities in Europe to evaluate the wide-ranging impacts of different types of urban agriculture systems. The project will study various systems, ranging from community gardens to vertical farming. This research will support the development of decision-support tools to assist policymakers in better incorporating the possibilities offered by urban agriculture initiatives when planning for future cities.
Through a varied network of practical and academic professionals in nine European countries, FOODCITYBOOST will co-create a comprehensive and interdisciplinary knowledge on urban agriculture. To ensure this knowledge is usable to all stakeholders, notably beyond the project, FOODCITYBOOST will highlight best practices and policies in Europe. Furthermore, it will develop tools to assist decision-making of future urban agriculture planning.
FOODCITYBOOST will test and bring what works in urban farming. We will engage stakeholders and actors to plant the seed of tomorrow's food systems allowing vibrant and resilient communities.
