The Open Garden Foundation and Cargonomia cooperate to support sustainable community transition projects, and the strengthening of cooperation between urban and rural initiatives in providing meaningful solutions to modern social, environmental and economic challenges.
Cargonomia is an open community workspace which works to promote sustainable bicycle based logistics and increased access to healthy, locally produced foods in Budapest. The Open Garden Foundation works to implement educational and outreach projects which promote sustainable agriculture and shorter, more transparent food chains in Hungary.
In 2020 our activities will focus on spreading knowledge of organic gardening practices and bicycle repair and usage competency through workshops in schools, urban gardens and community spaces in the city and countryside. We will also work together to develop our community cargobicycle and trailer sharing system in Budapest and further develop a number of urban agroforestry projects in the city.
In addition to our urban activities we will continue to help organize a host a number of open educational events in the garden in Zsámbok while working to maintain our community fuel wood and agroforestry project (in collaboration with the PAD Foundation for Environmental Justice) which helped plant over 800 new trees in the garden plot in the autumn of 2019.
