Collaborative Learning and Action
for Food, Community, and Solidarity
Urban Roots is a collaborative, multi-city learning journey that treats food as a political, ecological, and civic issue — connecting urban agriculture with circular systems, community solidarity, and participatory action.

Urban Roots
Discover how food, community, and shared knowledge can transform cities. Urban Roots bring together learners, practitioners and local actors to reimagine sustainable urban life through collective learning and action.
Supported by EELISA, the Urban Roots Project aims to advance food sovereignty and community solidarity through collaborative, place-based learning on urban agriculture. In line with this aim, the program includes online thematic forums, a learning expedition in Madrid, an online atelier, and a field school in Istanbul — each designed with active stakeholder participation.
