'The soil is where it all begins, where it all ends and finds a new beginning. The circle of life is driven by the living creatures under our feet; just one tablespoon of fertile soil contains more microbes than people on earth' – Losæter Losæter is a modern park with edible plants and a vibrant community in the city center of Oslo, dedicated to arts and urban agriculture. This park is now an urban garden, and a green space for everyone who wants to learn about sustainability, and who seeks contact with nature beyond the concrete of the city. It was established in early 2011, as part of an art project for sustainability, and it was commissioned and produced by Bjørvika Utvikling in collaboration with the international art collective, Future Farmers. The park has grown over the years and today the area consists of fields with traditional grains and an abundance of various vegetables, living soil, compost, pallet collars, a public baking house and several activities. At Losæter, people from all parts of the world meet and harvest together. Although, it is located near a trafficked street, upon a tunnel, in the modern and newly constructed area of Bjørvika, this place gives the opportunity to harvest vegetables in the middle of a urban concrete landscape, where the plants are offsetting some of the carbon emissions in the area. During the summer season that runs from May to the end of September, it is accessible to everyone. The fascinating community of Losæter is made of people from different backgrounds and cultures, driven by collectiveness and the desire to learn about organic food and sustainability. The community is diverse, there are people who have moved to Oslo, from other places in Norway or from abroad, people of all ages, students, and families with children. They meet once a week, usually on Wednesdays, to harvest together and eat a collective meal with the produce of the garden, meticulously prepared by the Losæter collective. A variety of roots, flowers and vegetables grow in the garden, even plants not commonly produced in Norway, such as the quinoa plant and peanut plants, raising the question about how climate is changing landscapes and reshaping future agricultural practices in Norway, and elsewhere. In the last years, urban agriculture has become popular, especially in Scandinavia, with the idea to create more sustainable cities. I believe Losæter, remains a special place, a green haven open to everyone, a place to escape from the busy city life and a way to meet new people, while feeling the living soil.
