The event provided an opportunity for intensive exchange and networking: participants were able to gain insights into various forms of urban agriculture and gardening projects from all over Europe and learn about their implementation in different cities. In this context, the focus was also on urban and social gardening, on which IFZ had already carried out its own project.

The “Biodiverse Edible City of Graz” was presented at the conference as the Graz case study of the PLANET4B project. During a short pitch, the Graz representatives explained their vision and approaches for more biodiversity and edibility in urban areas. The feedback and discussions that followed provided valuable input that can be incorporated into the further development of the Graz case study.
