UAM41, Linking future policies and next practices, was produced with funding from the European Forum on Urban Agriculture (EFUA).
The EFUA (European Forum on Urban Agriculture) project is now in its final year. This four-year project, funded by the EU Horizon 2020 programme, has been tasked with “unlocking the potential of urban agriculture”. In this issue of Urban Agriculture Magazine, we look beyond the lifespan of the project and into the future of urban agriculture (UA).
What challenges and opportunities lie ahead for the EFUA Forum and for UA as a whole?
What are the future pathways for UA development?
What promising policy perspectives are emerging?
And which networks will help to articulate and valorize the multiple benefits delivered by UA?
The magazine aims to answer these questions through showcasing tangible actions, outputs, innovative policies and new unexplored angles of UA, with an eye on the future and beyond the borders of Europe.
