Transformative solutions on 

how we feed people in the urban era. 

January 29-31, Linköping, Sweden

Bring your friends and colleagues and make a difference.

Urban Agriculture Summit 2013; the largest conference ever in the rapidly growing area of urban agriculture is drawing near - urban agriculture being one of the strongest trends according to Wall Street Journal, and the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences 

and many others. 

As always when challenges are to be met, new marketplaces emerge. During Urban Agriculture Summit 2013 you can be part of this. We have successfully assembled leading authorities and decision makers from China, India, Japan, the Middle East, Europe and the 

US; politicians, researchers, business people, innovators, entrepreneurs – from states, cities, universities, non-profit organisations, large corporations and the local community.

So, bring your friends and colleagues and make a difference.

P.S. The year 2050 we will be 9 billion on Earth. 80% of us will live in cities. The cities are expanding in a way that will force longer transports of what we grow for food. At the same time the land suitable for cultivation will not suffice. We are approaching a future where serious conflicts regarding food as a resource is close at hand. D.S.

Sing for the Climate Event

Sing for the Climate is a big singing manifestation that first took place on September 22 and 23 2012 in Belgium. More than 80.000 people in more than 180 Belgian cities and communities sang the song "Do it Now", urging politicians to take more ambitious climate measures both on local, national and international level. This video is a synthesis of recordings that were made in all locations. The success of 'Sing for the Climate' proves that a mass mobilization around climate change is still possible even after the COP15 in Copenhagen.

But Belgium is a small country and climate change is global problem, which needs to be tackled on an international level. Therefore we appeal to local groups and organizations worldwide to organize their own version of Sing for the Climate.

More information, tools and support for your local action can be found here.

Sing for the Climate is the culmination of three years campaigning for 'The Big Ask'. Learn all about this story in this video.
