The Green Belt initiative in Pau

Known for its stunning natural landscapes and historic architecture, Pau is increasingly gaining recognition for its commitment to sustainability and green living.

Bolstering local food production

By investing in local brands and promoting activities that highlight the cultural and economic value of the local food system, Pau is strengthening its food security while fostering community engagement and environmental stewardship.

Why Pau Stands Out?

Pau’s Green Belt initiative aligns seamlessly with the objectives of the European vision, which advocates for sustainable urban development and collaborative innovation among European cities.

By sharing its experiences and insights at Eurocities 2024, Pau contributes to a broader dialogue on sustainable food systems, offering a blueprint for other cities to adapt and implement similar strategies.

Advancing Urban Agriculture with Pau’s Green Belt

François Bayrou from Pau created the Green Belt initiative, which highlights the commitment to sustainable urban agriculture and local food systems.

Through this innovative approach, Bayrou is enhancing Pau’s resilience, promoting environmental health, and fostering a strong sense of community. His efforts are making Pau a leading example of how cities can support local producers while addressing broader sustainability goals.

Mayor François Bayrou’s innovative Green Belt initiative highlights his dedication to sustainable agriculture and local food production, marking Pau as a leader in urban environmental initiatives.

From our point of view, Green Belt initiative is Pau’s pledge to the future, ensuring that the city grows not just in size, but in sustainability, resilience, and community spirit.
