Abstract

De auteur kiest voor een geheel nieuwe benadering van allerlei actuele problemen rond de manier waarop we eten. In dit enthousiaste en visionaire boek volgt de auteur het spoor van ons voedsel, van het platteland tot de stad, via markten en supermarkten, keukens en eettafels, afvalverwerking en terug, en vraagt zich af hoe wij voedsel kunnen benutten als een manier om onze steden beter te begrijpen, beter te ontwerpen, en leefbaarder te maken. Ze schetst een helder beeld van de impact van de moderne voedselproductie op onze planeet en op ons leven en verschaft inzicht in hoe het zo gekomen is en hoe we verder moeten

Abstract

Recueil-enquête de solutions locales pratiques et à petite échelle de culture alimentaire, expérimentées en ville, notamment, dans les métropoles. "Farming the City is about how to use food a tool for today's urbanisation by employing effective and achievable small-scale local solutions. Yes, we live in challenging times, but we do not seek to alarm or demoralise our readers. Yes, 75 % of us will be living in cities by 2050, and we face serious issues regarding food miles, foodprints and CO2 emissions. But many of us have heard this story too many times and find global challenges too abstract, too remote and very difficult to solve in doable, practical ways. This book, however, offers affordable, achievable solutions : how the process of re-thinking our local food systems positively affects neighbourhoods, communities, politics and people. It is time to lower our sights and focus on what we can realistically do ; today, tomorrow and next year. It is time to explore local solutions. Farming the City investigates the impact of local food initiatives and urban agriculture on our built environment, economic systems and community cohesion. It is about what we can do now to pave the way towards a locally-driven, equitable, post-carbon society." www.trancity.nl.
