Erasmus+ Agrosocial Project
The Erasmus+ Agrosocial project explores innovative ways to promote social farming and urban organic gardens across Europe, connecting farms, communities and participants to foster inclusion, wellbeing and sustainable rural development. Agrosocial is built around three main pillars:
O1. LEARN
Identify and explore inclusive practices in public spaces, especially within urban organic gardens and with social farms, to better understand how they contribute to community inclusion.
O2. TRAIN
Deliver training sessions focused on increasing opportunities for people with disabilities and local community members, using organic gardens and social farms as tools for integration and cooperation.
O3. MULTIPLY
Share the project’s results across Europe, informing other communities on best practices for social farming, and methods to replicate inclusive practices in their own public urban gardens.
Through this initiative, Leitrim Development Company, with Social Farming Ireland has collaborated with Spanish partners, Terra i Dona and Meraki, to develop practical tools and resources that support farmers, services and participants in creating meaningful and inclusive experiences on social farms and urban organic gardens. You can explore the outputs from this project in the ‘Activities and Results’ section to learn more about the project activities, outcomes, best practices and practical guidance for supporting social farming initiatives and urban organic gardens.
