Edible Cities Network (EdiCitNet) wants to make cities around the world better places to live through the real-life implementation and institutional integration of Edible City Solutions (ECS).
The project implements Edible City Solutions (ECS). The systemic use of urban landscape for food production, such as bee-keeping, community gardens or technical solutions like green facades/roofs or indoor farming, is a major step towards more sustainable, livable and healthier cities. Social gardening activities empower local communities to overcome social problems by their inclusive and participatory dynamic, thereby fostering social cohesion.
Planting different Food varieties will enhance ecological resilience, while developing technical tools and selling products can create green Jobs and foster local economy. Furthermore, EdiCitNet initiates timely and active participation of society. Hence the co-developed results and findings support the establishment of a global Edible Cities Network.
OsloMet's Work Research Institute AFI are experts on co-creation methods, evaluation and monitoring, and will have a key role in ensuring that the monitoring framework and the evaluation methodology are set up according to scientific principles that allows a real assessment of the ECS and the Urban Living Labs‘ impact.
EdiCitNet is a project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 776665.
