The journey we started back in 2023 is now coming to an end. Thanks to Food4Thought project, we have facilitated what was seen to be unfeasible: turning farming from a rural practice to an urban activity!
Throughout these two years, we have organized a lot of activities, workshops and trainings that provided the young people with knowledge, skills and encouragement that let them start their urban agriculture adventure. We have created an educational training pack and a digital platform to spread awareness of the sustainable practice of urban agriculture, which helps to make our cities greener. With those tools, we have reached out to numerous youngsters and helped them realize that they can play a crucial role in resilient food systems by reducing food waste, learning composting, growing their own food and contributing to a greener living in urban areas.
Youth workers from all six partner countries – Portugal, Bulgaria, Romania, Cyprus, Italy, and Croatia – organized partner meetings to exchange information, formulate strategies and bring this inspiring project to life. Thanks to these efforts, we have reached our project goals by:
- Encouraging the young people to live sustainably by taking actions against the climate crisis;
- Showing them that they have potential to produce organic food at the comfort of their home or neighborhood;
- Empowering local institutions through interaction with civil society organizations and other stakeholders;
- Creating a multidisciplinary partnership and strengthening transnational cooperation of European organizations.
Together we have made our cities greener, our balconies prettier, gardens fuller and our food tastier! Thank you to all of our dear partners and participants for the collaboration and experience. Stay tuned for the upcoming projects.
