MOST Cooperative Urban Farm
Warsaw, Poland · Operator: 住民が設立した協同組合（cooperative）
Overview
A 3.6-hectare cooperative urban farm in Warsaw's Siekierki district, about 25 minutes from downtown. On former allotment land cleared for a bridge project and long left idle, residents formed a cooperative and turned it into an edible landscape.
Citizen participation
Residents formed a cooperative to reclaim the land and now own and farm it together. Seasonal vegetables, herbs and fruit are mixed with plants that provide nectar and pollen for bees and butterflies, joining cultivation with food, education and community regeneration.
Operating model
A non-commercial urban farm based on cooperative shared ownership and a shared harvest, tied to education and community activity.
Impact
Turns abandoned urban land into a citizen-owned space for production, connection and biodiversity — a leading Polish example of citizen-led urban farming.
Land tenure
Shared ownership and operation by a residents' cooperative; the land is still listed as agricultural in the register.
