Urban Agriculture and Social Interaction

Education facts

The course is interdisciplinary on the theme urban agriculture. From a global and national perspective, urban agriculture is discussed as a social and political expression in society. Its significance as marker for ecological resilience and participative citizenship is taken up. On a more detailed scale, the possibilities for urban agriculture are analysed: what is allowed in the urban areas, how to consider the identity and cultural values of the site, what can you cultivate and how, as well as what kind of risks and outcomes there may be. The aim of the course is to prepare students from different disciplines to meet the challenge of urban agriculture at their professional lives.
