At the heart of the farm is a collective way of working. Apprentices, volunteers, there’s no intermingling, unlike in traditional farming. A farm that creates links in an urban environment is a
rare gem. You only have to pass by
to understand the value of this space, which farmers are trying to make prosper by investing their time and resources to develop environmentally-friendly agriculture. Now they have a threat hanging over their heads, a mathematic center, filling their plan with uncertainty. We’re here to help them preserve an innovative and environmentally-friendly form of agriculture, but also a space
for social ties and education within
the university and local community, and to avoid breaking this crucial link between the community and sustainable agriculture. We are here to fight for the living.
