This Platform was funded by SUAVE EuroCluster Project.
The SUAVE Euroclusters for Stimulating SMEs in the new Urban Agriculture Value Chain for sustainable growth in Europe has received funding from the EU’s Single Market Programme under Grant Agreement 101074762 and started in September 2022.
SUAVE EuroCluster is a 30-months novel pioneering European project focused on boosting European Urban Agriculture towards sustainable and resilient urban food systems.
Coordinated by VEGEPOLYS VALLEY (France) and powered by four experienced agri-food and digital clusters from Spain (FEMAC), Hungary (INNOSKART), Poland (UNIMOS) and Lithuania (AgriFood Lithuania DIH), the project will support European companies and clusters in holistic development in the field of European Urban Agriculture – a multidisciplinary concept with wide range of areas.
Its multifunctionality covers, among others, the development of urban green spaces, alternative models of producing and distributing food, new technologies applied to cities, environmental issues and urban planning, as well as social aspects towards integration, inclusion and community building.
Urban Agriculture contributes to making cities more sustainable and favoring economic, ecological, social, educational, and health-related benefits.
