33 Amarantos is a group in Nicosia working on the creation of networks of urban biofarmers. Their greenhouse lies on a private parcel, granted by a member of the group, in a suburban zone at the outskirts of the city. The spot is functioning as a meeting point once in every one or two months for training, exchanging crops and developing their common seedbeds.
34 Do community gardens have a future in Cyprus?
35 STRENTHS growing quickly and motivated by dynamic action groups with vision, networking and cooperation with related social networks (organic agriculture), attracting people from different backgrounds and age groups, supported by neighbourhoods, private stakeholders and local authorities.
36 WEAKNESSES gardens are mostly managed by the NGOs and the action groups than by the neighbourhood people, the Cypriot urban fridge is consisted of many neighborhoods of low community notion, the lack of any policy by the state and the absence of any institutional or planning regulation makes land regime unstable.
37 OPORTUNITIES lots of available private land almost in every neighbourhood, young, unemployed people willing to get into action, low cost actions are attracting easily the support of the local politicians, action groups have the capacity to get funding from various programmes.
38 THREATS failure to establish a more substantial commitment with the neighborhood people, limitations in watering related to the water problem in Cyprus.
39 Thank you for your attention
