From now on all information and news on metropolitan agriculture and the Metropolitan Agriculture

This is the umbrella website of the Metropolitan Agriculture Innoversity, an initiative on the part of TransForum and REOS Partners in London. The MetroAg Innoversity is an action-oriented network that is looking for answers at international level to the question as to how agriculture can contribute towards more sustainable development in metropolitan areas. In the Innoversity various parties are experimenting with Metropolitan Agriculture in their cities through the implementation of new innovation projects.

The participants are drawn from agro-industry, governments, knowledge institutes and societal groups in the various world cities. They share their experience with other cities and so contribute to the worldwide development and embedding of the metropolitan agriculture vision. The cities that are already participating in the network are Amsterdam, Chennai, Detroit/Flint, London, Johannesburg and Sao Paulo. The first meetings of the MetroAg Innoversity were held in November in Johannesburg and Sao Paulo.

A workshop in Chennai followed on 22 December, while Detroit, London and Amsterdam will follow in the next two months. In the spring the teams from the various cities will be sharing their experiences with a view to learning from one another. The IAMA (International Food and Agribusiness Management Organisation) recently devoted attention to the Innoversity in its newsletter.
