Orchards from the forest: Urban agriculture as a lab for multiple learning

Urban Farm DB summary

This paper presents a conceptual and methodological approach to analyze and foster Cerrado (Brazilian savannah) cultivation in urban settings, focusing on collaborative learning processes. Based on cultural historical activity theory, it reframes urban farming for Cerrado regeneration from a systemic, developmental, and participative perspective. The approach aims to help practitioners identify and manage internal and external tensions within the activity system by rethinking its object and designing new actions and artifacts.
