Urban agriculture and food sharing

Ask your local authorities to serve vegetarian meals in schools and other institutional settings requiring collective catering. Ask your local authorities to take steps to combat food waste in collective catering. Ask your local authorities to offer school meals made from organic products.

A community garden is a garden that is collectively designed, built and maintained by the residents of a neighbourhood or village. You can find starter guides, technical information and various resources on the Royal Horticultural Society’s website – click here.

For people who do not have access to a garden, communal compost is an interesting solution in several respects: learning a new skill, potentially initiating a mutually beneficial exchange with your neighbours, producing you own compost for your indoor plants or for shared greens, contributing to better managing your immediate environment, and reducing your waste disposal costs.
