“…All of the previously mention features provide important ecosystem services. The historic irrigation system of the Vega of Granada, like in other parts of the agricultural system of the metropolitan region, is based on a structure of irrigation channels which are over 1000 years old and give life to lands which boast great fertility in a regional context marked by the advance of the semi-arid landscapes associated with less fertile soils than those of the plains [45].…”

Discussions on food security in the Global North have raised questions about the capacity of peri-urban organic agriculture to provide sufficient healthy food for the urban market. Dealing with food security requires more attention to how to protect peri-urban organic farming systems from urban pressures while strengthening the sustainability of local food systems. Given that short food supply chains (SFSCs) have been proven to be effective at reconnecting people with food production, this study focuses on identifying the barriers that hinder their development and the opportunities derived from the comparative advantage provided by their urban proximity. This study is based on documentary and empirical research addressing food supply chain characteristics in the organic sector. This study is focused on Mediterranean peri-urban agriculture, where, historically, there have been close relationships between the city and the countryside. These relationships are based on the fact that many cities are traditionally located next to areas of high agricultural activity, where a wide variety of vegetables is produced almost continuously due to the relatively mild winter climate. This study deals with two medium-sized metropolitan areas in Andalucía in the south of the Iberian Peninsula—the coastal city of Málaga, which is of a tourist-residential nature, and the inland urban agglomeration of Granada. Our research shows, when compared with other studies, that the local organic food sector seems to have great potential to find innovative solutions based on a collective approach, local embeddedness, and collective knowledge and by prioritizing horizontal and sustainable processes at the local/regional scale.

El Patrimonio agrario como marco de referencia de los paisajes culturales: criterios para su delimitación y protección

Aunque la figura de paisaje cultural es la más utilizada para proceder al reconocimiento y actuación sobre los espacios agrarios, ésta presenta importantes carencias en aspectos fundamentales como la delimitación de dichos espacios o los mecanismos y medidas establecidos para su protección. Para poder avanzar en la mejora de estas deficiencias es necesario aplicar sobre los paisajes culturales agrarios los principios que rigen el Patrimonio Agrario, que es el marco conceptual que debería guiar cualquier actuación sobre los bienes agrarios, incluidos los paisajes culturales, que no son más que un instrumento legal, una tipología de bien inmueble (tal y como intentamos demostrar al principio de nuestro artículo), para abordar la tutela de la dimensión territorial (por otro lado, la más importante) de los bienes agrícolas, ganaderos y silvícolas.

As one of the fundamental natural resources of life, water and its management within ecosystems has always been the most crucial aspect of any settlement. Prior to urban modernization, water was sourced upstream from rivers or groundwater, supplying settlements, with the runoff being drained further downstream or to sea, creating a series of water flows; our livelihood coexisted with this series. In the rapid city growth led by modernization, due to the creation of uniform and homogeneous new urban areas, water flow became separated for each purpose and began to be specifically manipulated for, and by, human society. This study was designed as one of a series of research projects aiming to highlight the relationship between the historical hydraulic systems and the more recent urban spatial structure, with the focus on Valencia, one of the medium sized cities in Spain. Valencia is ideal as a case study due to the historical mechanisms of hydraulic systems still partially in use, such as irrigation canals in its agricultural regions and sewage canals in its urban areas. In more recent years, the ancient canals and the rivers that were neglected or buried, due to pollution and/or flooding concerns, began to regain significance in the face of the growing interest in and necessity of restructuring green spaces in the city as well as the preservation of the city’s unique identity and history, along with its remaining/evolving ecosystems. The purpose of our research is to interpret the interaction between Valencia’s urban morphology and its historical irrigation systems, particularly its waterways. The target period is from the modernization in the 20th century to their present conditions.
