Project results and outputs

The results of AESOP4Food are an interactive open-access course that was piloted three times in 2022, 2023, and 2024. This course will be continued in a modified way in the spring of 2025.

All the resources of this course can be found on this wiki:

• the online seminar 2024
• the online seminar 2023
• the online seminar 2022

The project developed a Teacher's Guidance Report for those planning, organising, and developing courses and capacity building for sustainable food planning. The report includes a set of five modules that can be used for curriculum development.

For further developing the building blocks of agroecological urbanism, a set of outputs has been prepared for:

• A new model for agroecological parks, with a chapter on guidance to plan these parks.
• A Dutch report on Gentse Gronden about access to land and using public land as an instrument of leverage.
• A report on the Intensive Programme in Madrid, 2022, Regenerating urban food planning for eco-social transitions.
• An instruction video of the MOST Farm in Warsaw, an example of bottom-up development of a collaborative farm and a future Food Hub.

A French report on land protection, which studies national land regulations and instruments to preserve agricultural land that Terres en Ville composed in collaboration with SAFER, will be public in the beginning of 2025.

Instruction video of the MOST farm in Warsaw

The film tells the story of an urban farm, created in Warsaw as a kind of park and source of healthy food. Local gardeners share their experiences and share the passion that brings them together in a common project. Each has a unique story and reasons for getting involved, from a concern for the environment to a desire to educate the community. Working on the farm proves to be not only a physical challenge but also a lesson in cooperation and patience. The gardeners talk about their daily tasks, from planting and caring for the plants to managing the crops in a challenging urban environment.

Viewers get a behind-the-scenes look at how they battle adverse weather conditions, limited space, and other challenges they face in a densely built environment. The filmmakers also show how urban agriculture affects the ecology and integrates the local community. The main aim of the film is to use the Warsaw farm as a case study to show how similar initiatives can be developed in other cities and the challenges they face. In the end, viewers can see the results of the hard work - a fresh harvest and happy residents enjoying the fruits of their collective labour.
