It is a regrettable fact that modern city dwellers and especially the young generations are so alienated from nature that they know little about the food they eat every day, where it comes from, how crops are grown etc. This is also true for students in Malta.
Due to the industrialization and urbanization of the archipelago environment, Maltese students are in the dark about the nature of their daily food which leads to their low appreciation of Nature all around us. As they live in extensively urban areas, they lack the awareness, knowledge and skills on how to use the space around them to produce basic crops.
Correcting these deficiencies is what a new project, dubbed Farm the City and funded under the Erasmus+ programme, is attempting to do. Among the project partners are PRISMS MALTA, the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology, and two Romanian participants – “Dr. Alexandru Safran” Secondary School and the non- profit Association for Education and Training (ASEF), both based in the city of Bacau.
The main aim of Farm the City project is to make the young people aware that they can make use of urban spaces to grow their own crops and to show them how to do this.
To achieve the main aim, the project partners have set the following objectives:
