Urban agriculture and food insecurity - collective kitchens and the links between processing and production in urban agriculture
July 12, 2021 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
On line
This webinar was organized by the Chair last summer as part of the "Urban agriculture and food insecurity" network that it has been leading since 2018.
Different associations were asked to present their project, its mode of operation and to discuss the problems encountered.
What emerges from these exchanges is a diversity of functioning of these collective and shared kitchens both in terms of the public received, in vocations, in equipment and in supplies. Difficulties were highlighted concerning the logistics associated with this collection of foodstuffs for processing and the importance of supporting the public beyond simple processing was highlighted as a central point of their actions.

Urban agriculture and food insecurity - the first lessons of the health crisis
December 8, 2020 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Morning of testimonies and reflections entitled Urban Agriculture and food insecurity, devoted to the first lessons to be learned from the health crisis.
It took place on December 8, 2020 and was co-organized byARS Ile-de-France, the contract research officeExp’AU-AgroParisTech Innovation and the associationGarden Seed.
What emerges from these exchanges is a strong desire to assert all the interest of collective gardens in the city, both for the food aspect and for questions of global health.
This morning also highlighted the importance of logistics, even on limited scales, to continue supplying and distributing various foodstuffs to precarious populations, sometimes unknown to the associations.
