Welcome to season 5 of How Could We?.

This series will be exploring cities' transformation and discussing why cities play such a key role in tackling climate change.

Our guests for this episode are Marianne Lemberger, Programme Manager from EIT Food & Christophe Gadenne from Gardens4Good.

Marianne's work at EIT Food focuses on creating a more sustainable, inclusive and healthier food system all around Europe. As Programme Manager, she is in charge of the work packages in the EIT Community 'Strategic Synergies' program, including Gardens4Good's project at the Annie Girardot nursing home in Paris.

Christophe is the founder of Gardens4Good, an organisation which promotes non-profit food gardens for a healthier life and planet.

In this episode, we discuss how Gardens4Good's nursing home project positively impacted its residents, why it is important to include diverse stakeholders in community engagement and how to design or redesign projects to ensure the inclusivity and empowerment of marginalized voices.
