| Abstract | Urban agriculture can play a key role in achieving environmental, social and economic well-being of neighbourhoods, by activating direct and indirect services and opportunities for citizens and contributing to the requalification of neglected suburban areas of big cities. Troisi Park is one of the larger urban parks of the Metropolitan City of Naples. Accomplished in the 1980s on a brownfield area, nowadays the park is experiencing a decline period. In the framework of the H2020 FoodE project, aiming to create sustainable and resilient City/Region Food Systems, the municipality of Naples in collaboration with the Department of Agricultural Sciences of the University of Naples Federico II will bring new life and essence to this park, and in turn to the surrounding area. Through co-designing and planning activities already in progress, Troisi Park will become a 'global but local' agro-biodiversity hub. Knowledge, nature and culture en masse will engender job opportunities for disadvantaged-people, beside a space for youths, families and people eager to have a healthy lifestyle, being concurrently part of a sustainable inclusive food system, from food production to consumption. Furthermore, the core area of the park will host a greenhouse cluster for horticultural crop production as well as small allotments to be rented to locals and for educational purposes. Owing to an active and inclusive collaboration between local schools, initiatives, the municipality and the University of Naples Federico II, creating a sustainable future for this district of the city is achievable. |
