Finding Sustainable Economic Models in Urban Agriculture – Third tailor-made workshop for ECS initiatives in Oslo

by | Mar 10, 2022 | News

Nabolagshager and the Agency for Urban Environment (Municipality of Oslo), hosted on the 11th of November the third and last workshop of a series of three workshops to help urban agriculture initiatives in Oslo to develop their sustainable financial models. During this workshop “Focusing activities and resources for financial sustainability” we looked at how to best utilise time and resources to move towards better financial sustainability. We worked through some of the challenges of determining how to price goods and services in relation to the time needed to produce them, how to take advantage of public and private funding schemes to obtain capital, and the basics of financial models and accounting for your ECS initiative. We want to thank again all the ECS initiatives for attending our last tailor-made workshop at Linderud gård. Special thanks goes to our guest speaker Sara Prosser, who gave us an inspiring introduction to social entrepreneurship, what social enterprises are and how to plan for financial sustainability.

3 tailor-made workshops provided ECS initiatives with tools, resources, and networking that we are confident will strengthen their organisations and help them to develop their activities, products and services further

Looking Back at “Making Cities Edible” – the first Edible Cities Network Conference

by | Mar 1, 2022 | Sin categorizar

On the 16th + 17th of February 2022, the EdiCitNet project organized the first Edible Cities Network conference, bringing people from around the world together for two days of discussion, exchange and inspiration on urban food innovation, edible nature based solutions & sustainable cities.

The conference focused on exploring three major questions:

–        What are the opportunities & challenges facing urban food communities today?

–        How can policy makers better support them?

–       How can we join forces to enhance our impact?

The first day kicked off with keynote presentations from Mary Clear – one of the co-founders of the hugely successful and world-famous urban gardening initiative “Incredible Edible Todmorden” – and Jörg Niewöhner, the director of the Integrative Research Institute on Transformations of Human-Environment Systems – who explored both the practical and theoretical aspects of building edible cities of the future. Over the next two days, participants explored the latest updates and findings from the EdiCitNet Living Labs, inspiring theoretical insights on human-food connections, how cities around the world are integrating edible city strategies into their urban development plans and what networks, like EdiCitNet, can do to enhance the impact of small scale urban food initiatives from around the world.

The second day also saw the announcement of the EdiCitNet Award winners and conference participants taking part in an interactive meet & greet session where they could connect to others, share experiences and pose their questions to edible city experts.

We were very happy to welcome participants from over 58 countries to the EdiCitNet Conference, and would like thank all of the participants and all of the panelists who took part, for their dedication and insights throughout these two truly inspiring days. We are already looking forward to the next edition of the EdiCitNet Conference in 2023!
