Agroecology and Organic farming

Urban Agriculture and Community Gardens

This track focuses on urban agriculture, exploring how cities are adapting to food production by transforming vacant lots, rooftops, and even walls into productive spaces. Topics include vertical farming, community gardens, and the integration of small-scale, sustainable farming into urban environments. Experts will discuss how urban agriculture enhances food security, reduces food miles, and fosters community engagement. Case studies from cities worldwide will illustrate how urban farming contributes to sustainability, reduces the urban carbon footprint, and creates opportunities for local food systems. This track is essential for those interested in urban sustainability and food justice.
