This paper discusses the role of agriculture in urban regeneration, with a focus on the action-research project OrtiAlti in Turin (Italy). Similarly to other experiences currently running in cites like Paris, OrtiAlti is set up to revitalize abandoned or under-utilized urban buildings through rooftop community gardens. Rooftop food gardens can play a role as urban regeneration devices, by combining environmental and social benefits, levering on food production as a mediating function, and including new economic and social actors as subjects able to produce values of collective interest for the community.
Il paper discute il ruolo dell’agricoltura nella rigenerazione urbana, con un approfondimento sul progetto di ricerca-azione OrtiAlti a Torino (Italia). Come in altre esperienze attualmente in corso, ad esempio a Parigi, OrtiAlti è stata promossa per rivitalizzare edifici abbandonati o sottoutilizzati attraverso la realizzazione di giardini comunitari sui tetti. Gli orti sui tetti possono giocare un ruolo come dispositivi per la rigenerazione, combinando benefici sociali e ambientali, facendo leva sulla produzione di cibo come funzione di mediazione e includendo nuovi attori economici e sociali in quanto soggetti capaci di produrre valori d’interesse collettivo per la comunità.
