Visit the Living Labs
In the Edible Cities Network project, Living Labs are spaces where people from all sectors of society come together in so-called “City Teams” to develop strategies for more sustainable, more resilient and more social cities. Many of these Living Labs are located in different kinds of urban community gardens, where explorations are carried out into a range of nature-based urban food innovations – from community-supported agriculture programmes and water recycling technologies to networking strategies for green city initiatives.
In 2022, you have the chance to visit the EdiCitNet Living Labs in cities around the world!
