FOODITYBOOST is a project of the Horizon Europe program. With a starting point on January 1, 2023 and a duration of 48 months, the European Union-funded project has as its main objective the evaluation of the impact of urban agriculture and policies to support sustainable urban agricultural development linking urban, peri-urban and rural areas.

Take part in the great FOODCITYBOOST survey!

As part of the project, FOODCITYBOOST has recently launched a large, international survey created by the project’s consortium partners, the Crop Production Research Institute, ASTREDHOR and the University of Liège (Urban Agriculture Research Centre).

As part of the research, FOODCITYBOOST is looking for innovative urban agriculture practices around the world, with the aim of identifying already implemented innovative practices that promote the development of sustainable urban agriculture and deserve to be disseminated more widely. To achieve this goal, participation in the research of all stakeholders in urban agriculture (farmers, researchers, private experts, policy makers and other stakeholders) is sought.
