We are pleased to invite you to this new session of the FAO Green Cities Initiative’s webinar series, focusing on urban and peri-urban agriculture.
It will address urban agriculture as both a cultural legacy and a tool for ecological resilience. Urban agricultural practices are a cornerstone of a broader community heritage. Understanding and valuing this interconnected system is essential for developing culturally grounded responses to contemporary urban challenges. These practices, when integrated into city planning, offer more than food production: they strengthen social cohesion, support biodiversity, and enhance climate adaptation.
??Webinar’s objectives:
Present FAO’s work on urban and peri-urban agriculture within the Green Cities Initiative
Introduce the Urban Agriculture as Heritage approach by INSUAH
Showcase case studies from Havana (Cuba) and Bandung (Indonesia)
