The production of food within cities through urban agriculture can be considered as a nature-based solution and is argued to be an important response to the current COVID-19 pandemic as well as to climate change and other urban challenges. However, current research on urban agriculture is still fragmented, calling for a systematic and integrative assessment of different forms of urban agriculture and the drivers and constraints for their effective realization. In this context, the Special Issue presents conceptual and empirical research articles from around the world on the impact and implementation potential of various types of urban agriculture. The studies of this Special Issue cover a broad range of impact and implementation dimensions, asssessment methods and geographical backgrounds that can support future studies to develop a systemic perspective on urban food production.
Am Beispiel der Solidarischen Landwirtschaft (SoLawi) skizziert die Untersuchung ein dezentrales, kleinräumiges und bedarfsgerechtes Wirtschaftsprinzip der kleinen Einheiten. Eigenschaften einer gemeinschaftsgetragenen und maßvollen Ernährungsversorgung werden analysiert, um die Perspektive eines resilienten regionalen Wertschöpfungsraumes jenseits anonymer Fremdversorgung und komplexer Wertschöpfungsarchitekturen aufzuzeigen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
