Sustainable Food

This initiative is part of the Mans al Verd or “All hands to greenery” project, the aim of which is to activate green plots of land in the city on Council-owned land currently not in use. You can get more information about it here.

What are the plots of land included in the tender?

The plots will be assigned for a non-extendable period of four years as part of the Mans al Verd programme, with the aim of creating urban allotments, a garden or biodiversity space there. Work will also be done on aspects that improve and integrate the social fabric, with the involvement of the general public and social players in the area.

At present there are 17 actives spaces in the city run by various organisations, associations and political groups. This new assignment includes seven new plots in four of the city’s 10 districts, at the following locations.

• Carrer de Rosés, 8 (Sants-Montjuïc)
• Carretera Alta de les Roquetes, 56-58 (Horta-Guinardó)
• Pintor Alsamora, 20 (Nou Barris)
• Passeig de Valldaura, 271 / Avinguda de Rio de Janeiro, 100 (Nou Barris)
• Plaça d’Isabel Vilà / Carrer dels Almogàvers, 207 (Sant Martí)
• Carrer de la Llacuna, 35 (Sant Martí)
• Carrer del Doctor Trueta, 100 / Carrer d’Àlaba, 24 (Sant Martí)

How can I apply?
