Technology finds its way in the membership cards of urban vegetable gardens in Rome

From April 23rd, 2020, the members of the Vivere in ... Onlus Association of the Parco Ort9 urban garden in Rome have access to their new membership cards. Why these new cards?

On the COVID-19 crisis and public procurement

We are living in a time of crisis, and it is not a secret. The COVID-19 pandemic has taken us by surprise and has abruptly obliged us to change our habits. As Europeans, we are used to travel with few restrictions, to go out for coffee and dinner, to have hours-long meeting around a table in our offices. As of now, travels must be restricted to the essential ones, cafés and restaurants are closed and meetings happen mostly online, where the faces of our colleagues appear on small squares on our computer screens, with kids and pets running in the background.
