The focus of the first documentary film by Learning from the Grassroots is Land in Sicht, part of the Kleine Stadtfarm in Lobau, in Vienna’s 22nd district. The Kleine Stadtfarm is a lively network of 20 associations and start-ups that form synergies and close cycles in a coordinating association. The Kleine Stadtfarm association organizes workshops at the Welttellerfeld and guided tours for school classes, as well as events at the Kulturverein Salettl. The Feldversuche association regularly invites artists from all over the world to the Kleine Stadtfarm as part of artists in residence programs. There is also a café and the Stadtbauernladen, which sells the vegetables produced by Land in Sicht, as well as products from Hut & Stil, which, like Land in Sicht, is located in the main building. The cultural diversity of the associations, which meet regularly in plenary sessions and negotiate their different needs, is important for the Kleine Stadtfarm.

This whole network began with the idea of jointly cultivating the agricultural land, leased from the City of Vienna, with vegetables – initially for self-sufficiency. Land in Sicht was created around two and a half years ago within the diverse setting of the Kleine Stadtfarm and aims to go beyond self-sufficiency to supply the neighborhood with fresh, organic vegetables. In addition, young plants are grown in spring and meadow flowers for flower bouquets in summer. The founder of Land in Sicht, Nikolai Ritter, is also interested in offering young people from all over the world (for example as part of WOOFFing) the opportunity to work together in nature and familiarize them with the principles of organic gardening.
