Welcome to our exciting new Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) "Making Cities Edible: Cultivating Sustainable Urban Environments", where we delve into the innovative concept of Edible Cities! In this course, we will explore the fascinating intersection of urban development and food production, unraveling the potential of Edible City Solutions (ECS) and understanding how they differ from traditional urban food production systems.
Edible City Solutions goes 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 you are looking for best practices on doing that? Are you working at local municipalities and would like to learn more about adopting Edible City Solutions into urban planning? Are you simply curious about the future of cities? Throughout the course, we will delve into the multifaceted 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 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 community and to shape the cities of tomorrow.
