The workshop introduced the Food Forest concept – an innovative approach to urban food and sustainability, as well as a space that supports mental health, physical activity, and community connection. Good practice examples were presented, with an emphasis on the importance of involving the local community in developing such innovative solutions. The benefits of a Food Forest were highlighted: the opportunity to grow food, medicinal and aromatic plants, raising awareness of the food chain, environmental protection, and encouraging activism through educational workshops.

Together with the community, participants mapped ideas, analyzed the site, and selected the Top 10 elements to be included in the conceptual design of the future Food Forest.
