ORFC 2026 8 – 9 Jan
The session will reflect on two year of the Fringe Farming project, which aims to grow the movement for agroecological food production at city peripheries. The panel will share their experiences and lessons learned in advocating for the importance of market gardens. We will pay particular attention to linking the wonderful work happening on the ground to policy development. The room will then form breakout groups to give the audience a chance to link up with relevant people so that they can understand better how to make fringe farming work where they are, and learn strategies that can catalyse the growth of agroecological peri-urban farms into the future.
