Edicitnet

edible cities network (edicitnet) wants to make cities around the world better places to live through the real-life implementation and institutional integration of edible city solutions (ecs). ecs comprise all forms of urban food production, distribution and use – for example, neighbourhood gardens, bee or sheep breeding, green facades or high-tech indoor farming, cooking and dining events and the use of locally grown urban food in restaurants. such activities result in an overall increase of social welfare via improvements of climate and biodiversity conditions, enhancement of social cohesion in our cities, support of the local green economy, and sustainable maintenance of local raw material cycles by closed system techniques. edicitnet (edible cities network – integrating edible city solutions for social, resilient and sustainably productive cities) is a project funded by the european commission and running from september 2018 to august 2023 (grant agreement no. 776665).
