DESCRIPTION:\nHealthy and Biodiverse Edible Cities | Lunch Talk #21:\n \nCu
 ltivating Connections: Food Forests Across Urban and Rural Landscapes\n\n
 \n\nwith Tomas Remiarz (Forest Gardening in Practice\, UK) and Jennifer Sc
 hulz (University of Potsdam\, Germany)\nRegistration on Eventbrite\nFood f
 orests as nature-inspired systems that combine trees\, shrubs\, herbs\, an
 d perennial plants into layered\, productive landscapes have gained moment
 um globally as sustainable alternatives to conventional agriculture and ur
 ban green spaces in recent decades. These ecosystems not only offer edible
  abundance and food sustainability but also strengthen biodiversity and pr
 ovide multifunctional shared spaces for communities. In this webinar\, we 
 will explore how food forests are being developed as long-term\, community
 -driven projects in cities and rural areas\, while shedding light on their
  diverse and evolving functions.\nAbout the Speakers:\nTomas Remiarz has b
 een designing\, planting\, maintaining and researching forest gardens for 
 over 25 years\, working across the UK and several European countries with 
 an emphasis on the restoration of land and communities. He specialises in 
 creating functional\, edible landscapes and is author of the book “Forest 
 Gardening in Practice” (2017). In his talk\, Tomas will look at how forest
  gardens can help build beneficial links between rural and urban areas and
  the role they can play in land restoration and urban regeneration.\nDr Je
 nnifer Schulz studied Landscape Architecture at the Technical University B
 erlin followed by 15 years of working as a landscape planner specializing 
 on edible forest gardens. Returning to academia and after her PhD on Resto
 ration Planning at TU München she developed the idea and assessed the feas
 ibility of bringing Forest Gardens to cities. Since 2018 she leads the pro
 ject 'Urban Forest Gardens' at the University of Potsdam\, where she and h
 er team are researching ecological and social effects of urban forest gard
 ens in three pilot projects that have been created together with practice 
 partners in a participatory way in Berlin and Kassel. In the webinar\, Jen
 nifer will present these three pilot projects and the associated research 
 as well as an insight into the nationwide support for urban forest garden 
 initiatives and the knowledge transfer that is being carried out in the pr
 oject for administrations and initiatives.\nProgram:\nWelcome & Introducti
