The intensive workshop in Montpellier is hosted by the Chair in World Food Systems (WFS) of the Institut national d'enseignement supérieur pour l'agriculture, l'alimentation et l'environnement, the institut Agro. The programme will be organised in collaboration with Terres en Ville (one of the project partners) and INRAe (Umr Innovation, Montpellier, France).


The workshop will take place from July 05 until July 12, 2024. With travel days on July 4 and July 13.


The focus area will be the development of L'agriparc des Bouisses, Montpellier, with sub-themes such as "the food environment", and "water management". The concertation phase for the Agriparc is still ongoing and the workshop aim is to provide additional ideas, prototypes, and elaborations of the Agricparc.

An Agriparc is an agricultural park included in the urban space, combining different functions around agriculture. It is a landscaped place of production, marketing in short circuit, a refuge for fauna and flora, but also a place of green leisure open to all. Subjected to intense urbanization and heavy automobile traffic, the inhabitants of the western sector of Montpellier have suffered a degradation of their quality of life and their environment. With the Agriparc des Bouisses project, the ambition is both to create a new place of attraction for the entire sector and to offer the inhabitants a quality landscape and natural area. An innovative participatory approach has been launched with the inhabitants so that they can contribute to the Agriparc project (on which the teams of landscape designers, urban planners, and urban agriculture specialists will work).

In the spring of 2024, the detailed programme and objectives of the workshop will be presented on this page.
