Edible School Gardens and Urban farming are extremely unifying concepts, affecting the daily lives of citizens as they contain numerous economic and environmental concealed opportunities.

In 2022, the three States entitled to host the European Capital of Culture action are Lithuania, Luxembourg and Serbia. Many of us are on the lookout for deeper and more meaningful travel experiences. Cultural tourism – travel prioritising learning about and appreciating different ways of life is growing in appeal. A major factor in this important facet of cultural identity is the role of food.
