Learning the city refers to collective processes through which urban inhabitants experience, negotiate, and shape urban contexts. In the past decade, urban scholarship has emphasised the significance of learning the city as a political act. However, the full diversity of potentials of learning the city through urban agriculture remains underexamined. Drawing on fieldwork with an urban permaculture collective in Seville, Spain, this article examines four processes of learning the city through urban agriculture and reflects on their potential for driving urban change. We label these processes as learning the city through: experimentation; embodiment; socio-nature; and conscientisation and ecological citizenship. In closing, the article reflects on how progressive, political forms of urban learning in one city firstly raise important questions regarding the social and political impacts of diverse forms of urban agriculture elsewhere, and secondly, offer potential pathways to enhance relations between urban and rural socio-environmental struggles
