What is urban agriculture?
As the population grew, the fields gradually disappeared from the city centers. Some plots still occupy the land and are sometimes exploited by city dwellers: we call it urban agriculture. On the occasion of the International Agricultural Show, we went to the Association Terres Urbaines to learn more.
Communications: Hello everyone. This year, one of the flagship themes of the International Agricultural Show was urban agriculture. We met Jordan Bonaty, director and co-founder of the Terres Urbaines association, to find out more.
Hello Jordan, could you explain what urban agriculture is?
Communications: Indeed, we’re hearing more and more about community gardens, urban farms. What kind of needs do these projects meet ?
Communications: This new trend therefore meets many social and ecological challenges, but how does it actually work in practice?
Communications: Who is the initiative intended for?
Communications: So, if I understand correctly, the goal is to bring nature back into urban areas by getting different groups of people involved. Perhaps our city-dwelling colleagues will be the future farmers of tomorrow. Thank you, Jordan. See you soon!
