Abstract

Städtisches Gärtnern und urbane Landwirtschaft hat sich angesichts anhaltender Verstädterung und begrenzter Ressourcen zu einem wichtigen Element nachhaltiger Stadtplanung entwickelt – eine Betrachtung der kulturhistorischen Dimension fehlt aber bislang. Die Herausgeberinnen und Herausgeber präsentieren die erste umfassende Zusammenschau traditioneller Formen der Lebensmittelproduktion in Städten und sichern deren wertvolles Wissen. Auf der Basis aktueller Forschungsergebnisse entwickeln sie neue Perspektiven und Handlungsanweisungen für das Anerkennen traditioneller Systeme als kulturelles Erbe und den Umgang mit urbanen Agrikulturen weltweit. Urban gardening and agriculture have become important elements of sustainable urban planning in the context of persistent urbanization amid limited resources. However, a consideration of the cultural-historical dimension has been lacking up to now. The editors present the first comprehensive outline of traditional forms of food production in cities to help preserve this valuable knowledge. On the basis of current research findings, they develop new perspectives and guidelines for recognizing traditional food production systems as an aspect of cultural heritage and for dealing with urban agriculture worldwide.

Abstract

"Cet ouvrage invite à questionner l'habitabilité métropolitaine en mettant l'accent sur les pratiques des habitants et leurs représentations du territoire. Se dessinent certaines problématiques contemporaines qui échappent pour partie au périmètre institutionnel, telle que la question écologique ou la volonté de plus en plus présente de réinventer un rapport au local. L'étude de Toulouse est particulièrement intéressante par la proximité avec de nombreux espaces naturels et agricoles, parties intégrantes de la qualité de la vie et des enjeux métropolitains"--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

Alors même que nos villes regorgent d'espaces non exploités, aucun fruit ou légume n'y pousse. Armée de râteaux, graines et arrosoirs, c'est là qu'intervient la Guerilla Green ! Les activistes non-violents issus de ce mouvement prônent un jardinage politique : il n'est pas question de fleurir les balcons, mais de se réapproprier l'espace urbain, de recréer du lien social et de renouer avec l'autonomie. Cookie Kalkair a suivi pendant près d'un an Ophélie Damblé, trentenaire et citadine confirmée, qui compte bien reverdir sa ville plutôt que de la quitter... et donne les clés pour mettre en pratique la devise des guerilleros : PLANTEZ... PARTOUT !

Abstract

For a long time, urban agriculture initiatives have been explored and novel policy and planning practices have been investigated. With the global food crisis the role urban agriculture has to play becomes more and more urgent. The potentials are large: it brings social justice, it limits climate change, it provides a healthy urban condition, it stimulates biodiversity and gives disadvantaged people an economic opportunity. After 15 years in the making, the time is ripe to see whether the growing of food has established a prominent position in urban planning and policies, food productivity, safety and security, social well-being, the arts, and human health. In this volume several aspects of growing food in the city are explored. Urban Agriculture plays a significant role in society. Nevertheless, it did not become a mainstream topic in day-to-day practice. This book provides concrete solutions and clues how to give urban food production a crucial role in the future planning of urban environments.

Abstract

"Across the United States marginalized communities are organizing to address social, economic, and environmental inequities through building community food systems rooted in the principles of social justice. But how exactly are communities doing this work, why are residents tackling these issues through food, what are their successes, and what barriers are they encountering? This book dives into the heart of the food justice movement through an exploration of East New York Farms! (ENYF!), one of the oldest food justice organizations in Brooklyn, and one that emerged from a bottom-up asset-oriented development model. It details the food inequities the community faces and what produced them, how and why residents mobilized to turn vacant land into community gardens, and the struggles the organization has encountered as they worked to feed residents through urban farms and farmers markets. This book also discusses how through the politics of food justice, ENYF! has challenged the growth-oriented development politics of City Hall, opposed the neoliberalization of food politics, navigated the funding constraints of philanthropy and the welfare state, and opposed the entrance of a Walmart into their community. Through telling this story, Growing Gardens, Building Power offers insights into how the food justice movement is challenging the major structures and institutions that seek to curtail the transformative power of the food justice movement and its efforts to build a more just and sustainable world"--
