“…(van der Jagt et al, 2023). This approach is determined by the need to counteract the negative effects of climate change and improve living conditions in the city, which was directly influenced by, among others, the COVID-19 pandemic (Kimic et al, 2024). It also results from the need to increase access to green areas, in particular for groups at risk of exclusion, such as women or seniors .…”

Participatory Budgets as a placemaking tool involve residents in co-deciding on public expenditure. The growing number of applications for pro-environmental projects influences the creation of Green Budgets in many Polish cities. An example is Katowice where such an initiative has been operating since 2020 to support public tasks in the field of ecology and environmental protection. The study is aimed at indicating the development trends of the Katowice Green Budget based on its 4 editions (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023). During this period, residents submitted a total of 715 green projects and 347 of them were selected for implementation. The results show a growing trend in the scope of submitted green projects in the first 3 editions and stabilization in the 4th edition. The number of accepted projects is constantly growing. The largest number of projects is related to the development of greenery (new plantings, green streets, revitalization of green areas), as well as green education important for increasing public awareness of the role of pro-environmental activities in the city. This confirms that the Green Budget fills the gap in activities supporting the development of urban greenery, and is appreciated by both the city authorities and residents.

Agroecology is a scientific subject, an innovative practice and a social movement, which studies ecological processes in relation to agro-food systems, providing new concepts and tools for mainstreaming advanced management strategies of the agroecosystems. The implementation of Agroecology principles may strongly benefit from Biosystems Engineering techniques. Indeed, their synergical integration may contribute to the reduction of the environmental footprint of agriculture, while protecting biodiversity and ecosystems, so leading to better techniques, materials and tools for planning the rural landscape. Several techniques characterized by an eco-friendly impact are currently investigated by Biosystems Engineering, e.g.: building elements for bio-architecture, produced/integrated with natural materials (bricks insulated with straw/wool; concrete reinforced with natural fibers; "adobe" bricks; etc.); Nature-Based Solutions (NBS); fully biodegradable materials (e.g., for soil mulching); remote-sensed data (from drone/satellite) exploited for precision agriculture, to optimize the use of resources (water; soil; agrochemicals; etc.). These solutions may support the formulation of strategies for re-designing agroecosystems at the landscape level, focusing on ecosystem services, biodiversity, water conservation, crop/livestock production, agrochemicals limitation, pollution reduction, and climate change adaptation. This review paper presents the main technical solutions of Biosystems Engineering for Agroecology, able to integrate territorial planning, reducing pollution from agriculture and protecting the rural landscape.
