15th Garden
From Anarchy In Action
15th Garden is or was a bottom-up urban agriculture network across 17 cities in Syria. It campaigned for food sovereignty and belonged to the Syrian Revolution. The name came from the revolution's birthday of March 15th, 2021.[1]
In 2016, La Via Campesina shared a report by 15th Garden describing some of the Syrian movement's activities:
"There are community gardens that built the capacity to feed thousands of people, there are farmers’ networks for work and skill exchange, there are seed reproducers and sharers, there are bakeries built and re-built, developments of mobile grain mills and networks for educating communities in closed-cycle methods: like trash recycling, small scale bio gas producing and local fertilizing cycles."[2]
