Food as an urban issue

Why is Food not considered yet a key urban topic? How can cities develop and promote sustainable food systems? What is an Urban Food Strategy? The Food and Cities dossier answers these and many other questions.

The dossier compiles research articles and many policy&practice examples. The analysis summarizes and highlights the main aspects covered in the dossier. As concerned to food, more and more cities develop their own Food Strategies. Check here some of the beginners (London) and some of the latest (Vancouver) food strategies. If you are looking for European cases, read the “Sustainable Food in Urban Communities” (URBACT 2012), rich in examples.
