Name
Bela Flor Respira - Agroforestry in Campolide
country
Portugal
Goal
"Agroforestry is a natural space where forest, fruit and vegetable trees are planted or sown, with a view to making maximum use of space and productivity, with the aim of recovering the forest, reintroducing and maintaining native species." Allows water collection for underground aquifers and soil regeneration, in order to counteract erosion and the depletion of natural ecosystems in the urban network. An urban agroforestry allows for many ecological and social functions that bring resilience to the population, such as shade and freshness, biodiversity, food, a place to share and socialise, and education.
