A fascinating read, full of ingenuity, notably in response to the Little Ice Age, but lots we could adapt. 🙏🏻 It appears there were some unexpected benefits:“Peach Walls in Paris
“Initially, fruit walls appeared in the gardens of the rich and powerful, such as in the palace of Versailles. However, some French regions later developed an urban farming industry based on fruit walls. The most spectacular example was Montreuil, a suburb of Paris, where peaches were grown on a massive scale.“Established during the seventeenth century, Montreuil had more than 600 km fruit walls in the 1870s, when the industry reached its peak. The 300 hectare maze of jumbled up walls was so confusing for outsiders that the Prussian army went around Montreuil during the siege of Paris in 1870.“

#FarmsInschools initiative
#UgandaFarm"Farms in Schools Initiative is a community-led educational program in #Uganda that integrates #agroecology, #UrbanFarming, and sustainable food production into schools and local communities. Through hands-on learning, students cultivate vegetables, herbs, fruits, and other crops while exploring #RegenerativeAgriculture , #permaculture, vertical farming, aquaponics, and small-scale livestock management. The initiative promotes food security, #EnvironmentalStewardship, youth empowerment, and practical agricultural skills, encouraging young people to become active contributors to healthier, more resilient, and sustainable communities. By transforming schools into living classrooms, Farms in Schools demonstrates that even small gardens can produce meaningful educational, social, and environmental impact while helping address hidden hunger through local food production."
