Do AND talk
May 6, 2011
Some folks are all talk and no do, but this last year, I’ve been all do and no talk. Apologies for my extended absence and may this post mark a movement towards striking a balance between the two.

Foodscape Schilderswijk: kids initiating the planting of the Wellington Hof Plum Orchard
In the past year I started a foundation for urban agriculture in Amsterdam and the Hague called URBANIAHOEVE, Social Design Lab for Urban Agriculture. URBANIAHOEVE, for short. We’ve been producing a gamut of projects (and pilots) that are working examples of the kind of urban agriculture that we want in our cities. Small but real food-system infrastructure, foodscapes built on existing green infrastructure by the existing social infrastructure.

DIY Mmmmuseum of Oven Typologies: tamped earth ovens barely outta beta
After its successful pilot last summer, we’ll soon be implementing our playful and public urban kitchen infrastructure at 4 Amsterdam locations, complete with a monthly programme (this fall) that will introduce different constellations of folk to DIY outdoor oven technology.

DIY Mmmmusem of Oven Typologies: kids monopolizing and/or owning the ovens
URBANIAHOEVE’s projects, like all urban agriculture, require a huge amount of work produced by a devoted and almost indefatigable team, by numerous project participants, developed with, and supported generously by inspirational partners.

Foodscape Schilderswijk: Harvesting herbs in the public space
Though our work is ongoing, finally I can begin the satisfying process of reflection and reporting on what we’re doing. By ‘we’ I really do mean WE. The URBANIAHOEVE blog will report tersely in project copy in Dutch and English, but Culiblog will be the place where I can still dish the real dirt on urban agriculture.
- Foodscape Schilderswijk is an URBANIAHOEVE project developed in collaboration with Stroom, Hague Centre for Art and Architecture as part of their multi-year manifestation Foodprint, Food and the City.
