saturn | Pilot cases

The city of Birmingham is working on three different pilot actions to re-develop and enhance peri-urban areas of the metropolitan area. Through the SATURN project the landscapes and heritage of the valley will be enhanced and further investigated. Same actions will be developed in the city of Birmingham where some important heritage green areas will be recovered and enhanced through the Naturally Birmingham plan and input from the community. Local partners will also develop the Food Growing programme to create synergies between different food networks and engage them in common initiatives or innovative entrepreneurial opportunities.

Gothenburg is working on four different pilot actions connected to the enhancement of urban agriculture, redevelopment of abandoned sites, and education of young generations. The Model Farm is developed in cooperation with the City of Gothenburg and the Region Västra Götaland; theAngered and Skogome pilot aims to recover peri- urban plots by supporting people in establishing inno vative business models. A Farmers Incubator will train and increase the number of ecological farmers committed to sustainable land management.The LAB190 is strongly related with the recovering of underutilized farmland and enhancing generational change.

Trento, Piana Rotaliana and Pergine Valsugana intend to identify abandoned areas to integrate them in the sustainable food network, developing a network of semi-natural areas to enhance ecological value of the landscape. Nutrire Trento will relaunch urban sustainable agriculture by connecting producers and consumers.
