The Open Garden Foundation, through the combined efforts of Zsámboki Biokert and Cargonomia, cooperates 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 a degrowth research and experimentation cooperative which works to promote sustainable bicycle based logistics, grassroots community organizing, and increased access to healthy, locally produced foods in Budapest. The Open Garden Foundation works to implement educational and outreach projects which promote agroecology and organic agriculture, construction with natural materials, increased access to cargobikes for citizens and shorter, more transparent, food communities in Hungary.
This year Cargonomia celebrates its 10th anniversary, join us on the 10th of May.
The partnership supports:
- Distribution of local organic food products by bicycle in Budapest.
- Informative, participatory outreach events on sustainability and well-being, low-tech and appropriate technology and Degrowth, reciprocity economy.
- Publication of books, articles, interviews, podcasts and videos on degrowth and related topics and experimentations. In particular, this year, we contributed to the Routledge Handbook of Degrowth – join us at Corvinus (May 5) and Bolygo (May 27) for conversations around the book.
- Practical, DIY workshops in our community spaces in Budapest and in Zsambok, with our partners.
- Maintenance of a Community Cargobike sharing system and spreading knowledge of the multifaceted uses for bikes and cargobikes in the urban environment.
- We are also involved in research and educational projects, in particular with a partnership with Les Petits Mousquetaires and the organization of a summer camp for teenagers or with several universities.
- Traineeship program seeking degrowth practical and theoretical experience welcoming every year up to 20 students.
- Eco-construction and renovation of an adobe structure in pursuit of developing a new community space in Zsambok.
