Agricultural projects require a
multiplicity of skills and knowledge in order to fit sustainably into the urban
landscape.
This is why the Metropolitan City
of Bologna, together with other entities, is promoting the SESAME online
micro-learning training course "Problems and opportunities of metropolitan
agriculture". A training aimed at political representatives and technical
operators of local authorities, available at this link: https://bit.ly/3uOwx2f.
To succeed in implementing
agricultural projects, local officials and administrators need to be informed
about the challenges of urban and peri-urban agriculture, its opportunities,
and about the barriers encountered by proponents of these projects.
From the conception to the
implementation of an urban and peri-urban agriculture project, the course can
affect several local government departments: legal, urban planning, social,
environment, urban policy making, water, infrastructure, communication and many
others.
The course is free, open to all,
free access and includes 5 micro-learning training modules available in three
languages (French, Italian and Catalan).
