Linking sustainable practices throughout Europe
► From action to knowledge: market gardeners have their say!
Rural topic(s): Local ecological knowledge
Type: Innovative experience
Date of writing: June 29, 2022
Organization(s): GEYSER (Groupe d’études et de services pour l’économie des ressources)
Summary:
Market gardeners, whether they are newly installed or long-time practitioners, have things to say about their practices and knowledge to share!
This knowledge is constantly being built up and evolves as the market gardener gains experience. It is also nourished by meetings with peers, reading, training sessions, etc.
Their values and worldviews also have a impact on their choices (and therefore their actions).
Highlighting this knowledge by giving a voice to market gardeners is the aim of the work of the SEMBio collective, launched in 2017, which brought together a team with diverse skills (such as video), including several members of GEYSER.
