Visit the Living Labs
In the Edible Cities Network project, Living Labs are spaces where people from all sectors of society come together in “City Teams” to develop strategies for more sustainable, resilient and social cities.
Many of these Living Labs are located in and around 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, project partners and members of the local neighbourshoods had the chance to visit the EdiCitNet Living Labs in cities around the world and find out more about the work being done in the project.
