Urban farming in Belgium
3 citizen-driven urban farms recorded in Belgium. Each entry documents who runs it, how the land is held, and where the information came from — nothing is listed without a source.

BEWatermael-Boitsfort, Brussels, Belgium
An urban, participatory and ecologically-minded farm in Brussels' Watermael-Boitsfort district, where citizens and professionals farm together, using food to build local connection and protect the environment.

Potage-Toit rooftop garden (Brussels, Belgium)
BEBrussels, Belgium
An experimental, participatory garden on a Brussels rooftop. It is worked as a natural but intensive garden, mixing vegetables, aromatic plants and small fruits for eating with wild and indigenous species for biodiversity on the same roof. Le Début des Haricots asbl, which runs it, also supports the founding of collective gardens across the city through Brussels Environment's "Inspirons le Quartier" call, so this rooftop is where the organisation tries things out itself. Belgium was previously represented in this database only by Chant des Cailles in Brussels, so this adds a different kind of space — a roof.

La Ferme de la Trèflerie (temporary urban farm, Dames Blanches, Brussels)
BEWoluwe-Saint-Pierre, Brussels, Belgium
A Brussels example of "meanwhile" use: 2.5 hectares awaiting housing development are opened for a few years as a site for urban agriculture, biodiversity and community activity. Meadows, orchards, wetland, woodland and aromatic gardens on the site are used as they are, layering farming, nature observation and education on one plot.
