GROWING GREEN COMMUNITIES
About the Project
The Growing Green Communities project aims to cultivate empirical insights into the potential impact of participatory, community-based initiatives within urban areas. Specifically, the project investigates their role in mitigating the environmental footprint associated with food production and consumption. By promoting a plant-based lifestyle, fostering shorter food supply chains, and curbing food waste, the initiative seeks to outline effective strategies for reducing environmental strain.
The resultant findings will contribute significantly to the ongoing discourse on urban households' food consumption patterns and the efficacy of participatory food interventions in metropolitan settings.
