ERASMUS+ COOPERATION PROJECT

Edible Cities

Transforming vacant urban spaces into green jobs for NEET youth

Edible Cities is a European cooperation project exploring how vacant urban spaces and edible city initiatives can connect with learning, youth participation and green employment opportunities. The project focuses particularly on young people who are not in employment, education or training (NEET).

THE IDEA

What are edible cities?
