Noah Etnographic District
Landscape and agricultural experience
Urban agriculture
Typical gardens and vineyards of each Amenian region will deine the
landscape in the Noah Ethnographic District, creating a new form of
cultivation in the city, an urban agriculture.
Urban agriculture can be considered not only as a tool for environmental
re-qualiication of open spaces in the city, ensuring a high quality of green
spaces in terms of care and variety, but also a social, convivial, educational,
therapeutic and economic tool.
The are many environmental beneits in urban agriculture, ranging from
CO2 reduction to biodiversity protection, from urban climate regulation
to the mitigation of heat islands to the simple puriication of the air we
breathe.
Increasing attention to health and to the quality of food, a phenomenon that
afects more and more people, is relected in a reduction in food disorders
with subsequent reduction of public spending on the health sector.
The orchards will also carry out an educational function through thematic
pavilions where teaching lessons will be held for schools visiting the
agricultural park, as well as professional seminars with training courses
on cultivation techniques. No less important is the “orthotherapy” project
that provides rehabilitation of gardening and gardening for people with
disabilities.
