• FACULTY OF AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SCIENCES


Representatives from the Faculty of Agriculture and Food Sciences at the University of Sarajevo participated in the 1st consortium meeting of the HORIZONT project BAUHAUS BITES: Positive Food Environments Fortified with Nature-Based Solutions and New European Bauhaus, held in Fundão, Portugal, from June 10th to 13th, 2025.

This event brought together partners to continue working on multiple tasks and deliverables planned within the project, with a particular focus on developing action plans to set initiatives that will transform urban food environments.

The city (and people) of Fundão are implementing a wide range of inspiring, innovative, and community-based initiatives—all aligned with the city’s strategy and its goal to make the region more attractive and improve quality of life for all.

Highlights from Fundão:

PICNIC & CHERRY TREE SPONSORSHIP
Becoming the Godfather or Godmother of a Fundão cherry tree is more than a symbolic gesture—it’s a hands-on contribution to ecological regeneration. By sponsoring a tree, you participate in the cycle of planting, nurturing, and eventually harvesting some of the world’s finest cherries ????, while supporting biodiversity and sustainable agriculture.

Quinta Ciência Viva das Cerejas e das Ideias
At this innovative space, curiosity flourishes alongside cherry trees. It blends science, education, and technology, inviting visitors to explore interactive learning trails and experiment with cutting-edge agricultural techniques in an experimental cherry orchard. Here, tradition meets the future, and every visit is an opportunity to witness scientific discovery in action—flavored with the sweetness of cherries.

Co-Creating Public Spaces for a Sustainable Future
Students are at the forefront of designing the Fundão Food Lab, integrating New European Bauhaus principles and Nature-Based Solutions. Their proposals aim to enhance urban resilience and sustainability by envisioning a space that champions local, healthy, and sustainable food practices. The Fundão Food Lab will serve as a vibrant hub for community engagement and cultural exchange, advancing both scientific and social innovation.



New Hand Lab: Where Creativity Meets Heritage
Experience the fusion of tradition and contemporary creativity at New Hand Lab. Guided visits reveal how artistic residencies foster interdisciplinary collaboration, cultural innovation, and the preservation of heritage through modern expression. This is where science, art, and community intersect, inspiring new ways to connect with our environment and each other.
