Food for the city- harvest the city
an initiative by Anja Fiedler
City nature, city abundance and urban gardening are the three main elements of my “Stadt macht satt” (i.e. Food for the City) initiative, which involves looking and thinking differently about our cities and our food. I want to teach people in cities how they can live more sustainably. I use what I call my “Stadt macht satt” glasses to make these wasted resources visible and to show what we ourselves can do in our everyday urban lives to make the future better.
And it’s pretty straightforward: I use the example of an apple to explain how the global industrial economy works, allow pupils to experience biodiversity for themselves, encourage them to eat a healthy diet and show them how cities could be supplied differently and more sustainably in future.
