Giorgio Gianquinto is a leading figure in urban agriculture, horticultural science, and sustainable food systems. As a professor at the University of Bologna and director of the Research Centre on Urban Environment for Agriculture and Biodiversity (RESCUE-AB), his work bridges the gap between academic research and practical, community-based solutions. Gianquinto’s major contributions lie in developing innovative educational frameworks for urban agriculture, exemplified by his most-cited paper, “Promoting education and training in urban agriculture building on international projects” (2020, 19 citations). This work, presented at the prestigious IHC2018, outlines how international collaborations can foster training programs that equip students and practitioners with skills for resilient urban food production. His research has significantly shaped how horticulture is integrated into urban planning, emphasizing biodiversity, sustainability, and social inclusion. With over 100 publications and a career dedicated to advancing urban horticulture, Gianquinto’s impact extends beyond academia—his projects have influenced policy and practice in cities worldwide. For students and researchers, his work offers a compelling model of how scientific expertise can directly address global challenges like food security and climate adaptation.
