Urban Agriculture and sustainable water recycling at farm level
- Country: Austria
- Sector: Central (Midland)
Pilot #4 is based at Cambium, a community and eco-village in Fehring, Austria, covering 4 hectares orchards and grassland, 1.500 m² market gardening. At Cambium, sustainable and innovative agricultural practices are promoted through circular economic approaches and on-farm water recycling, with a specific focus on peri-urban areas.
The pilot strongly involves the local community—especially local networks, farmers, and youth—in co-developing solutions and practices. A group of organic farmers from the eco-village cultivate a diverse range of products including crops, fruits, vegetables, cereals, and legumes, forming a dynamic and integrated food production ecosystem.
Special focus is placed on the reuse of water and nutrients from non-conventional sources, aligning the project with the site’s unique potential, the strength of local networks, and the real needs of the surrounding community.

Why GEORGIA Stands Out
GEORGIA is redefining urban agriculture at the farm level by creating fully integrated water and nutrient cycles. Here’s how GEORGIA supports sustainable food production in urban settings:
