FOLC is our first Solarpunk Hub, a third place located in Northern Italy that will act as:. 🌎 research center for Climate Adaptation .🌱 forest farm for testing regenerative agriculture practices.💚 third place to run trainings and events

Everyday is harvest day 💚.#solarpunkhub .#microclimatefarm

Our main potato bed is almost ready for harvest. What should we plant next?.#solarpunkhub .#microclimatefarm

Thank you for your warm support to our newest project 🙏🏻💚.

RT @Earthbasedsoul: In a solarpunk future, respect will flow through all living beings. Their one life will be sacred, just like ours. 🌱🐾.#….

How can we adapt to a changing climate?.We’re experimenting with tropical, heat-resilient crops like sweet potatoes, okra, and peanuts. Will they thrive here? Will they help us build food resilience?.We’re learning, one season at a time. #ClimateAdaptation #MicroClimateFarms

At our micro farm, we spend our days tending to the land—with our hands in the soil and questions in our minds. #solarpunkhub.#microclimatefarm.

Tonight, our kind wild boar friends gave our cold compost pile another good stir. They get the earthworms—we get free heavy labor. #TogetherWeCan #WildlifeBasedSolutions #MCF

7/7.The Uganda MCF plan to distribute thousands of 🌳 via ☀️powered e-cargo bikes and trains students to care for trees. It helps to restore biodiversity and supports food security in a warming Lake Victoria Basin. From Italy to Uganda, the micro climate farm revolution is coming.

🇺🇬 Mayuge Solarpunk Farm – Mayuge District, Uganda.Bioregion: Victoria Basin Forest–Savanna Mosaic.A tropical micro farm and soon tree nursery site experimenting with solar irrigation, organic cultivation (bananas, peanuts, cassava, sweet potatoes, cacao), and plastic-free.

🏡 Lyubodarove blends old & new:.- 18th-century orchards.- Soil regeneration.- Rainwater collection.- Workshops & youth camps.- Electric tool lab for retrofitting farm equipment.It shows how historical rural estates can become modern climate farms.

🇺🇦 Lyubodarove Family Estate – Noskivtsi, Vinnytsia region.Bioregion: East European Forest-Steppe (Podolian Upland).This historic 4 ha orchard is rich in heritage fruit trees. Now restored with biodiverse plots, berries & summer camps, it’s a regenerative learning site.

🦌 Wild boars and deer roam freely. The Hub experiments with coexistence—using wildlife as collaborators, not pests. We’re testing how birds, amphibians, and insects can support pest control, pollination, and soil regeneration in micro farms.

2/7.🇮🇹 Solarpunk Hub – Tradate, Northern Italy.Bioregion: Southern Alpine Foothills (Temperate Broadleaf Forest).A 1.4 ha living lab on abandoned land, now home to no-till farming & fruit trees. Facing droughts & heatwaves, we test low-labour farming and wildlife-based solutions.

1/7.🧵 Where are Micro Climate Farms taking root?.We’re piloting MCFs in 3 diverse bioregions across Europe and Africa—testing how regenerative micro-farming can adapt to radically different climates, soils, and communities. Let’s take a tour 🌍👇

10/10.Micro Climate Farms are not a silver bullet , but they are a hopeful seed. A new way to farm that supports nature, communities, and long-term resilience in the face of climate uncertainty. 🌍 Let’s build a Solarpunk Future, one Micro Climate Farm at a time.

9/10.Each MCF is unique, but they connect. Together they will form a distributed, replicable network, sharing knowledge, tools, and practices across regions while adapting to local conditions.
