About
Research has already been conducted on the multifunctionality of urban agriculture. (eg: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/366470982_The_multifunctionality_of_urban_agriculture_projects_in_Brussels)
With the FedeAU, we are looking for partners to go a step forward, by bringing quantitative data on the impacts of these functions. It could be on health and well-being impacts of UA and/or social cohesion impacts.
It would be relevant to also work on climate mitigation and adapatation as well as biodiversity, soil and water quality; but our federation's internal expertise would be more limited. We would then need partners with the necessary expertise to enable us to implement their research methodology in Brussels.
The goal would be to get quantitative data that can be use to show why UA should not only be part of cities environmental policies, but also integrated in their health and social cohesion programs.
We are also open to work on a wider topic, including other types of green spaces.
