+ | == The urban jungle == | ||
+ | There is a worldwide trend of urbanization where since 2008 for the first time in history more than half of the worlds population lives in cities. What may be less evident is that this is not limited to humans. Many species find themselves living within or moving into urban areas. In the Netherlands the countryside is dominated by industrial agriculture this means the level of biodiversity in a city like Amsterdam is significantly higher than it is in rural areas. In public perception however it is still the countryside that is associated with an experience of nature. So what would happen if the richness of urban wildlife could be made manifest for citizens. | ||

+ | == The edible landscape == | ||
+ | FoAM is working on creating new networks between humans and non-human city-dwellers. One such tool is Boskoi. In this pilot project we focus specifically on edible species and even medicinal plants and herbs that grow in public space. Working closely with urban-biologists, | ||
+ | |||
+ | == The green river == | ||
+ | Mapping the edible urban landscape is updating our view of the city. We can identify it's green arteries and make visible an unseen infrastructure that is vital to the health of its inhabitants. People improve their knowledge of taxonomy, food-preparation, | ||
+ | This pilot project and the new insights it generates are the basis of our continuing investigation of the field of augmented ecology. | ||
