REGENERATION VEGETALE

Holistic land management,

a pacification tool at the service of people and the environment

​

Providing a relevant response to the environmental and social challenges of the 21st century, implementing tools for ecological transition, first of all means recreating social ties around a common project. This project begins with the collective creation of a garden according to the principles of permaculture ...

​

The roadmap methodology begins with a multi-level training cycle (from citizens to elected officials, including municipal staff) followed by participatory intergenerational and interfaith citizen projects.

​

​

Upstream of the realization, the actors participating in the project are trained. True citizens' relays, they animate and deploy in

co-creation of actions for the holistic management of territories. These actions cover many overlapping angles of approach that are dependent or independent of each other:

​

•   Training and education in ecology, sustainable development, ecological transition tools as well as  

     holistic project management.

•   Federation and awareness by setting up participatory citizen workshops.

•   Food security in the regions  through the creation and management of a pilot training space and support

     people in conversion to be established in all possible territories.

•   Support for individuals with a piece of garden or a balcony towards food self-sufficiency according to their

     land and their schedule.

•   Contribution to citizen gardens (shared, associative).

•   Food production in schools and raising awareness among young audiences for the E3D labeling of

     schools - creation of a permaculture and educational garden.

•   The establishment of a short, medium and long term roadmap to respond to ecological problems from  

     an educational garden by motivating and uniting the local fabric.

​

Launch citizen initiatives and materialize them on the ground in 7 days!

​

Train, launch participatory projects and make long-term projects viable.  

​

Social and environmental objectives: Boost a local social and economic project through the creation of an educational garden according to the principles of permaculture in order to recreate the social link, a neighborhood life by integrating the environmental issue.

The action plan, in order to meet these objectives set by the principal, is divided into five parts which are the subject of training and participatory projects.

​

Step 1 - Training: Education  

​

Training in setting up an EDD (Education for Sustainable Development) program to obtain “E3D” labels in schools.

​

Case study at Multifao college (Corsica) of an integration of an ecology, food waste recycling and food production project within an educational establishment.

The areas studied relate to:

​

•   The establishment of a citizen collective to reflect on ecological problems with the development of solutions to be implemented at the level of a college and homes.

•   The design and creation of a pilot food production garden within the school.

•   The creation of a biowaste recycling unit by sorting, composting and / or vermicomposting with the presence of "recycling hens".

•   The mobilization of "eco-delegates" to raise awareness and guide the process of all students and parties  school stakeholders.

•   Taking into account the health crisis by adapting the program outside.  

Step 2 - Training: The production and food security of the territories through permaculture

​

Case study of the "Listin'Core pilot center" (Corsica), training center and laboratory for food self-sufficiency in regions.

The areas studied relate to:

​

- Reading the landscape of a territory.

- The highlighting of its structural and present elements.

- Evaluation of potential resources.

- Collective or concerted preparation of an action plan.

- Searching for answers, gathering them by theme to prioritize them in stages.

- The establishment of a global and flexible action plan, even evolving in stages.

​

Step 3 - Training: Food production in schools

​

Case study of a pilot integration project, of a long-term (3 years) ESD education program with the objective of food production. School group "Jacques Majorelle" from kindergarten to college with the Mission Laïque Française. The areas studied relate to:

​

- Awareness of  systematic reduction of food waste within the establishment.

- The establishment of sorting.

- Education in the consumption and appreciation of unprocessed foods through the cultivation, maintenance and harvesting of      vegetable which gradually becomes again or becomes a friend in the canteen and no longer a stranger without particular flavor, because  

  fear of what one does not know can lead to rejection.

- Health awareness and action on health / nutrition by introducing children to vegetables.

- The development of autonomy among young people in their learning process by giving them new tools.   allowing to carry by themselves the elements of their program.

- The means of communication with the administrations, the rectorate, the principals, the teachers and the parents.

- The promotion and transversality of work in correspondence with school programs between teachers and

  EDD speakers.  

​

Step 4 - Training: Launch a permaculture garden depending on the land and the time available, contribute to citizen gardens (shared, associative)

​

The areas studied relate to:

​

- The inventory of the elements necessary for the garden: soil, irrigation, plant cycle, sowing, planning according to  

  seasons, materials and equipment.

- The design and installation of the garden: model and start of integration.

- The management of social cohesion by  practical work in the garden for educational purposes in the various neighborhoods  

  popular, mixing everyone's expectations: From people trained in the creation of their personal garden, to

  associations  neighborhoods through the dynamism of the pilot garden as an awakening tool which, moreover, constitutes a real  

  educational annex for schools.

- The creation of a local fabric for the exchange of knowledge and skills in food production.

​

Step 5 - Training: Establishment of a short, medium and long term roadmap  from an educational garden

​

The garden is intended to encourage and promote the creation of jobs and activities within the district. It is a support tool for students dropping out of school and offers a place of training for people in reintegration. It helps to integrate sustainable development levers for the territory. It forms a base of models to eventually allow the multiplication of other gardens and educational islands within the districts of the municipality and the communities of municipalities. It is a tool of pacification, creator of social bond.

​

The axes studied are:

​

- The inventory of fixtures and the elements present, the strengths and weaknesses, highlighting the issues within the

  district.

- Diagnosis of internal resources: human resources, budgets, expected effects step by step.

- Planning and carrying out an evolving action plan over the short, medium and long term.

- The study of the project management tools.

- The mapping of the positioning of partners and participants in the project.
