This Friday, May 24, the Vérani urban agriculture learning platform was inaugurated. A great way to develop agricultural activities in our territory.
This learning platform, created in partnership with the Campus Vert d’Azur, aims to develop and maintain agricultural activities in our territory in order to promote food production. The Vérani urban agriculture learning platform opens its doors at the top of Cimiez with 3,500 m2 dedicated to training. This platform is intended for a young audience in initial training or for adults in career transition, with the ambition of installing future graduates in the Nice area and the development of organic farms.
A place of learning
This urban oasis is a place for the production of vegetables, flowers, and fruits. It also aims to bring biodiversity to urban areas. It is the hub for sharing and transmitting knowledge. School groups will be invited to workshops to educate the youngest on the importance of biodiversity.
At the heart of the strategy, there is the ambition to create a short circuit with this Territorial Food Project. This metropolitan local urban plan has allowed for the protection of 5,900 hectares of land in agricultural zones, which is +1,100 hectares of agricultural zones compared to previous municipal PLUs. All this is to promote the training and rurality of our city within the agricultural sector.
