The politics of protection
Farmland conflicts in Richmond, BC reveal how municipal planning shapes dissent through consensus governance and technical planning tools. • Using radical-agonistic planning theory, the study shows how competing visions of agriculture are selectively integrated to shape legitimacy. • Agricultural planning institutionalizes, translating political contestation into consultation and manageable outcomes
The CFS Choux Questionnaire
A riff on the well-riffed Proust Questionnaire, the CFS Choux Questionnaire is meant to elicit a tasty and perhaps surprising experience, framed within a seemingly humble exterior. (And yes, some questions have a bit more craquelin than others.) Straightforward on their own, the queries combined start to form a celebratory pyramid of extravagance. How that composite croquembouche is assembled and taken apart, however, is up to the respondents and…
Vertical agriculture's potential implications for food system resilience
Food systems are vulnerable to socioeconomic and environmental changes, and increasing food system resilience has emerged as a key public policy priority. Vertical agriculture is one potential strategy to contribute to food system resilience. To date, the literature exploring this technology has focused on consumer perceptions, with less examination of broader social-ecological system considerations or on-the-ground implications for vulnerable fo…
Tasting the “Future of Food” on a Bay-Area Cellular Agriculture Tour
It’s a sunny spring morning in San Francisco. In the Bay Area, we’re on the traditional and ancestral territory of the Ohlone People, though now Indigenous Peoples of many nations find their home on these lands.My colleagues and I traveled to the Bay Area to meet with a few “cellular agriculture” start-ups. This morning is our first visit of several this week. We’re in the “Dogpatch” neighborhood. Subway tracks line the main street. We are surrou…
Reflecting on Covid-19 for integrated perspectives on local and regional food systems vulnerabilities
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted multiple vulnerabilities and issues around local and regional food systems, presenting valuable opportunities to reflect on these issues and lessons on how to increase local/regional resilience. Using the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) in Canada as a case study, this research employs integrated planning perspectives, incorporating comprehensive-systems, regional, place-based, and temporal consideratio…
Bioengineering, telecoupling, and alternative dairy
The global environmental impact of rising consumption of animal products presents significant challenges to sustainable land use. One alternative to the production of animal products is a set of technologies for culturing meat and dairy alternatives referred to as "cellular agriculture"; in the case of dairy, "cellular dairy". Optimism around the benefits of these technologies is widespread, and they fit within a larger narrative of land sparing,…
Dairy 3.0
Animal-derived and plant-derived dairy products will soon be joined by dairy produced using fermentation-derived cellular agriculture. Most cellular agriculture literature focuses on "cultured meats," but fermentation-derived dairy products are likely to reach consumer markets earlier as the technological barriers are much lower. An analysis of literature on dairy and on broader cellular agriculture literature suggests several barriers to adoptio…
Local Challenges and Successes Associated with Transitioning to Sustainable Food System Practices for a West Australian Context
Large-scale food system practices have diminished soil and water quality and negatively impacted climate change. Yet, numerous opportunities exist to harness food system practices that will ensure better outcomes for human health and ecosystems. The objective of this study was to consider food Production, Processing, Access and Consumption domains, and for each determine the challenges and successes associated with progressing towards a sustainab…

Farming in an Agriburban Ecovillage Development
A growing desire for local food systems has increased interest in peri-urban farming, leading to the rise of agriburban landscapes, in which a desire to farm or to be near farmland is a contributing factor to development patterns. Interviews and site visits to the Yarrow Ecovillage near Vancouver, Canada, outline an example of a development that allows new farmers access to land in a setting with few tensions between farming and non-farming resid…
Neige et Citrouille
After a long period of decline, urban farmers' markets are playing a revitalized role in food distribution in North America as interest in local food increases. Such markets can reveal underlying geographies of cuisine and culture in the surrounding neighbourhoods. Marché Atwater in Montreal, Quebec, was observed over several years in different seasons to study how the space interacted with the surrounding community. Marché Atwater was found to r…
Sustainable development for some
Many brownfield development projects and many redevelopment projects aimed at improving older urban spaces list sustainable development as a stated goal. It is a key question, however, whether the benefits of these redevelopment projects are equitably shared with the original members of the community, and in the case of brownfields with residents of adjacent neighbours, or are there differential benefits that accrue to new higher-income residents…
Does Place Matter? Sustainable Community Development in Three Canadian Communities
The creation of a sense of place has emerged as a goal of many community development initiatives. However, little thought has been given to the role of physical spaces in the shaping of possible senses of place. This article examines three Canadian examples of community sustainable development initiatives to demonstrate that sense of place can be shaped and constrained by the geographical and environmental features of the physical space a communi…
Limits to growth rates in an ethereal economy
Homophily and Agency
The virtuous cycle
Sustainable development is a contested concept, but continues to be popular at all levels of organization. At the grassroots level, many groups are creating networks to address ecological and social issues associated with sustainable development. These groups do not always achieve their objectives as originally envisioned, but, as shown through the examination of a grassroots effort to create a pedestrian zone, a partial success can be an importa…

Short-term group psychotherapy in a psychiatric walk-in clinic
In the community mental health center, newer approaches must be used to provide for the ever-increasing treatment needs of the community. Is short-term group psychotherapy effective with patients of lower socioeconomic status? Two case studies illustrating the advantages of this modality and the significance of the patient who terminates treatment prematurely are discussed
