The Soil and the System
Regenerative viticulture has become increasingly prominent within the English wine industry as a flexible framework for ecological sustainability, promoting soil health, biodiversity and reduced chemical use; it is often presented as a pragmatic alternative to the perceived rigidity of organic and biodynamic certification. This paper examines why English wine producers have adopted regenerative viticulture and explores the forms of knowledge and …
Practicing care-full scholarship
The demand for alternative methods of providing informed consent is increasing, especially in research with marginalised (or illiterate) research participants. This article discusses the co-creation of a visual informed consent (VIC), in collaboration with an artist. The VIC was inspired by the experience of obtaining informed consent from a group of migrant women with limited English proficiency, in empirical research undertaken on agroecology a…
Public land for urban food policy? A critical data-analysis of public land transactions in the Ghent city region (Belgium)
The development of urban food policies has shed light on the strategic role of public landownership for strengthening farmers capacities in the context of rising land values. Despite attention on a few pioneering farming initiatives promoted by local authorities on public farmland, however, there is often little understanding of the extent of public landownership and the modus operandi of public institutions within urban land markets. This makes …

Following a short historical overview, the entry discusses the three main dimensions that characterize community gardening as a phenomenon (land access, organizational structure of the community, and project goals); the main themes in existing research and policy (communit…
Urban Agriculture in the Food‐Disabling City
Recent literature has pointed to the role of urban agriculture in self‐empowerment and learning, and in constituting ways to achieve food justice. Building on this work the paper looks at the potential and constraints for overcoming the residual and contingent status of urban agriculture. The first part of the paper aims to expand traditional class/race/ethnicity discussions and to reflect on global, cultural, procedural, capability, distribution…

Critical geography of urban agriculture
Urban agriculture is a broad term which describes food cultivation and animal husbandry on urban and peri-urban land. Grassroots as well as institution-led urban agricultural projects are currently mushrooming in the cities of the Global North, reshaping urban landscapes, experimenting with alternatives to the capitalist organization of urban life and sometimes establishing embryonic forms of recreating the Commons. While this renewed interest in…
