Urban Farm DB summary

This German Wikipedia article on the Edible City movement traces its origin to 2008 in Todmorden, England, where Pamela Warhurst and Mary Clear founded 'Incredible Edible'; by 2017 the UK Incredible Edible Network linked more than 100 groups. In Germany, the association 'Essbare Stadt' was founded in Kassel in May 2009 based on permaculture principles, while Andernach's municipal project began in 2009 and gained nationwide attention after being presented at Berlin's International Green Week in 2014. By 2017 over 140 such initiatives calling themselves 'edible' were found online. Since 2008, Toronto has promoted a comprehensive municipal program including community gardens, education, and food-waste initiatives.
