Abstract : Smart city, ville verte, ville résiliente, ville durable, ville connectée... les villes de demain sont au cœur des grands enjeux de notre époque. En effet, 75 % d’entre nous vivront en zones urbaines en 2050 au sein d’espaces produisant déjà deux tiers des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) et devant faire face aux conséquences sociales et sanitaires de la pollution atmosphérique.
Abstract : Els canals curts de comercialització (CCC) impacten en les dimensions econòmica, social, cultural, territorial i ambiental de l'àrea metropolitana.

Abstract : Farmers’ innovation is a central element in the development and consolidation of metropolitan agriculture. This report discusses the role of farmers and other private stakeholders in the development of sustainable urban and peri- urban agricultural projects in the Mediterranean region.
Abstract : Urban and peri-urban agriculture is an emerging field of academic research. Its interdisciplinary and complexity nature make it a very interesting and challenging topic for students and researchers. At the same time, the results of this research –both in the physical and the social dimensions of agriculture– have an enormous potential for guiding and improving current initiatives in this area, from community gardens to territorial policies.
Abstract : New forms of retailing are arising with the objective of making peri-urban food available at daily basis and affordable prices and establishing direct links with metropolitan farmers. Consumers’ associations are also very active to create pressure groups and frequently develop successful collaborations with local public authorities to gain access to allotments for community gardens and keep green areas free from urbanisation, among others. These actions can be understood as a form of ‘consumer-citizenship’, which is the main focus of this document.
Abstract : The social innovation dimension is inherent to many agricultural projects in urban and peri-urban contexts. In some of them –community gardens, therapeutic and educational farms and social inclusion enterprises, among others– it is even their main drive. These initiatives have great potential in terms of poverty alleviation, integration of vulnerable collectives and community-building and this fact raises social innovation as one of the main aspects of metropolitan agriculture.
Abstract : The disappearance of fertile agricultural land due to the rapid spread of urban construction and the consolidation of metropolises is a real issue for both urban planners and rural populations. While agriculture weakens as an economic activity, urban and peri-urban agriculture is becoming an increasingly important factor for supplying food to city dwellers and creating sustainable links between natural and urban areas.
Abstract : Transnational innovation practices, mostly in the form of multi-partner projects and networks, play an important role in the consolidation and progress of sustainable and resilient metropolitan agriculture. This document discusses its characteristics and point towards some recommendations on how to make best use of this kind of initiatives.

Abstract : This paper aims to provide an overview of the concept and practice of urban agriculture in the European Union. In addition to examining the typology of urban agriculture, it looks at the scale and practice of this phenomenon, along with the factors that have operated to influence its development. Examples are provided to illustrate the diversity of urban agriculture, including the potential contribution that it can make to food security and sustainable development. Drawing on research studies and reviews from both Europe and the USA, the paper identifies a number of challenges and limitations facing the development of urban agriculture, in both policy and practice terms.
Abstract : The “Urban Agriculture Europe” EU COST-Action (2012–2016) has shown that the complexity of urban agriculture (UA) is hardly compressible into classic business management models and has proposed new management models, such as the Business Model Canvas (BMC). Business models of UA have to be different from rural ones. In particular, factors such as differentiation and diversification, but also low cost-oriented specialisation, are characteristic and necessary business models for UA to stay profitable in the long term under challenging city conditions. This paper aims to highlight how farm enterprises have to adjust to urban conditions by stepping into appropriate business models aiming to stay competitive and profitable, and how the BMC is useful to analyse their organisation and performance, both economically and socially. The paper offers an inter-regional analysis of UA enterprises located in Spain, Italy, and Germany, which are further subdivided into: local food, leisure, educational, social, therapeutic, agri-environmental, cultural heritage and experimental farms. The analysis demonstrates that UA is differentially adjusted to specific urban conditions and that the BMC is useful for analysing urban farming. Heterogeneous local food farms and the integration of local and organic food production in social farming business models are most frequent in our case studies.

Abstract : Face à la diversité des situations, des contraintes, des acteurs et des points de vue, et face à la complexité de l’enjeu, le risque existe de se sentir démuni au moment de définir une stratégie de gestion d’un système alimentaire urbain. Cela rend particulièrement cruciaux le partage d’expérience et la connaissance des démarches d’analyse et des cadres de référence mobilisables.

(EN) This text explains how local authorities can help farmers find agricultural land and start their businesses.
Abstract : The multifunctional character of urban agriculture is widely recognized both in Northern and in Southern countries. But, who are urban farmers? A literature review suggests two categories which co-exist: poor farmers who practice subsistence farming in developing countries, and gardeners who farm as a hobby in industrialized countries. In this article, we question the societal postulates concerning the status of agriculture in urban households. We show that the development of urban agriculture in industrialized countries is based on hybrid types of activity systems, which in part do not correspond with the division between professional farming and hobby farming.
Abstract : Urban agriculture (UA) is a worldwide growing phenomenon.In the metro- politan areas of the Global North, UA is not simply a food production activity but also a mean for social aggregation and for urban environmental sustainability.
In this context, today, the spatial representations of the urban environment are enriched with a new layer: the cultivated green spaces.
Abstract : This guide is part of a collective effort to provide motivation and support for those actors interested in building more sustainable food systems in urban contexts.
Abstract : This article emphasizes the need to recover the "connection" between the countryside and the city, a relationship in which the countryside becomes a place to host an agro-urban project where "urban superplanes" are associated to "Food superparcels", understood as facilities and urban infrastructures. This is a proposal that is perfectly acceptable for smart cities, even if these cities want to be smart as well as sustainable.

Abstract : The tomato is a central food in Catalan gastronomy, however, in only seven years, its local production drops by 40%. This documentary analyzes the procedence of the tomatoes showed up in Mercabarna, the central of supplies of Barcelona, traveling to the countries of origin and describing their production systems, which turn out to be unsustainable from the social and environmental point of view.
Abstract : The purpose of this study is to provide some keys to understand the current scenario of the Municipal Markets of Barcelona and its main supplier of food: Mercabarna. The food sovereignty key is analyzed, the model of production and food distribution that is promoted from the Mercas Network and the role played by producers of periurban agriculture in Barcelona.
