Edible Cities Network Global Lunch Talk #12: Making Cities Edible

In the 12th edition of our series of webinars "Edible Cities Network Global Lunch Talks: Urban Food Innovation", we are thrilled to introduce one of the biggest outcomes of the Edible Cities Network project!
Join us for the launch of "Making Cities Edible: Cultivating Sustainable Urban Environments"- a Massive Open Online Course which delves into the innovative concept of Edible Cities! In this course, we will explore the fascinating intersection of urban development and food production, unraveling the full potential of Edible City Solutions.
Edible City Solutions go beyond vertical gardens, rooftop farms, community gardens and urban aquaponics. They embody a holistic approach to urban development, incorporating elements such as biodiversity conservation, waste reduction, water recycling, social engagement and co-creation.
Are you planning to start your edible city initiative, start-up or (social) business and you need some guidance on how to do that? Are you considering adding a social component to your business and looking for best practices on doing that? Are you working for the local municipality and would like to learn more about incorporating Edible City Solutions into urban planning? Are you simply curious about the future of cities? Throughout the course, we will delve into the many benefits of Edible City Solutions, including improved food access, enhanced urban resilience, reduced ecological footprints, innovative techniques and strengthened community bonds.
Led by a team of expert instructors with extensive knowledge in urban agriculture, sustainability and community development, this free online course will provide you with a comprehensive understanding and theoretical and practical knowledge of Edible City Solutions. Through engaging lectures, interactive discussions, and practical case studies from around the globe, you will gain the necessary tools and insights to become a catalyst for change in your own community and to shape the cities of tomorrow.
