Since 2007 the majority of the worlds population, for the first time in history, lives in the suburbs of the cities and no longer in the countryside. An anthropological transformation is rising globally: shepherds and farmers becomes citizens. However, in the suburbs, between shining crystal skyscrapers, in anonymous neighborhoods, in crumbling slums, re-emerges so often human’s need to work the land. That be farmers, that constitutive need of our species, in every culture, to work the land, resurfaces unhinged rhythms and duties of urban life. The narration flows into possible and innovative routes: the last garden in one of the most crowded peripheries of Casablanca (Morocco); hydroponic cultivation in Teresina (Brazil); growing vegetables in bags in one of Nairobi's slums (Kenya);hanging gardens in Turin and Bologna;community and Guerrilla gardening in Berlin.
