Urban Gardening

Urban gardens are a strong trend and are gaining ground in cities across the globe. As an alternative to the established food system and with a clear environmental benefit, it has become popular to grow your own vegetables in backyards or on top of a skyscraper



DYRK Nørrebro is an urban farming initiative that works to expand vegetable cultivation in Nørrebro, Copenhagen and creates new urban communities. Nørrebro is one of Copenhagen’s 10 districts and is a multiethnic society, inhabited by people from all parts of the world. DYRK Nørrebro is a big opportunity for this multi-cultural and some times very divided and troubled district to connect and strengthen the community spirit. It is not only activating the area sustainably and connect with people, but also turns the ‘former conflicted’ image of Nørrebro into positive collective spirit.
