Going beyond planting means to understand the cycle that connects the soil, food, and life.

In an urban context, these moments foster a conscious bond with the rhythm of nature and the origin of our food.

In the garden, we unearth essential knowledge and strengthen the relation to the local area, promoting awareness, participation, and a sense of belonging.

More than just a practice, it is a way of thinking about food as an integral part of life, health, and culture.🌱

"Somos una parte del ecosistema, puedes mejorar la salud de ese sistema para hacerlo menos vulnerable, pero no puedes deshacerte de los virus, siempre estarán ahí... ¡mira cómo criamos a los animales [en sistemas industriales] empaquetados esperando el próximo virus!"

“We are a part of the ecosystem, you can improve the health of that system to make it less vulnerable, but you can’t just get rid of viruses, they will always be there… look at how we raise animals [in industrial systems] packed up waiting for the next virus!”

"Espero que esto sea un incentivo para darse cuenta a nivel estatal, que esto se acabó, no puede seguir, aprovechemos este lío para reorganizarnos porque toda la base está podrida... No creo que deba ser todo global o todo local, pero se necesita espacio para todo"

“I hope this is an incentive to realise at the state level, that it’s over, it cannot go on, let’s use this mess to reorganise because the whole base is rotten… I don’t think it should be all global or all local, but you need space for everything”

"Este trabajo me ha conectado con la tierra, ahora sé lo que está disponible localmente, de dónde vienen los alimentos, eso es lo que quiero traer a la gente... eso es lo que ha sido un regalo con esta crisis".

“This work has connected me to the land, I now know what is available locally, where food comes from, that’s what I want to bring to people… that is what has been a gift with this crisis.”

"Los clientes no iban a 'hamsterer', sabían que cada semana recibirían su caja de verduras, eso es soberanía alimentaria". Contar con productores locales que "cultivan alimentos para los seres humanos" apoya las necesidades de los habitantes locales, así como la necesidad de aquellos productores que "todavía tenían clientes mientras los productores de patatas están tirando a la calle" durante la crisis.

“Customers did not go hamsterer, they knew every week they would get their veggie box, that’s food sovereignty”. Having local producers who “grow food for humans” support the needs of local inhabitants, as well as the need to those producers who “still had customers whilst potato farmers are dumping on the street” during the crisis.

I am very happy to announce that within Plant Breeding, Wageningen University and Research (WUR-PBR) together with my colleagues Guusje Bonnema and Peter Bourke I have launched the new Research Cluster Breeding for Agroecology. Agroecology applies ecological principles to farming to create resilient food systems that support biodiversity, circularity, soil health, and local communities. This research cluster will create visibility and coordinate activities inside and outside WUR-PBR for the topics breeding for diversified production systems, the implications of breeding for (agro-)biodiversity, and breeding for organic agriculture. The cluster and its spokesperson Guusje Bonnema will function as a contact point for any research activity around these topics at WUR. You can get in touch with the cluster via her https://www.wur.nl/en/persons/drir-ab-guusje-bonnema

Happy to collaborate and spread the word!

"The vast majority of pesticides are used on crops grown for ethanol and factory farm animal feed.Factory-farmed animals are raised in cruel conditions,spending their lives on top of each other, covered in their own waste.Animals raised in these conditions are fed pesticide-ridden feed & antibiotics.And like any factory,these operations discharge dangerous pollution, driving a cancer-linked drinking water crisis in several states
