    Open AccessFrancesca Monticone, Alessandra Samoggia et al.ARTICLEAgriculture and Human Values2024Cited by: 1References: 6

    Farmers’ markets (FMs) represent a crucial player in urban food systems, being the interconnection of local agricultural production and consumption, and serving as spaces for both economic exchange and community building. Despite their transformative potential, there is a scarcity of research that comprehensively investigates the dynamics of FMs network structure and the influence of the actors shaping FMs. The present article delves into the net…

  • Cultivating change

    Open AccessA K Steines, Ann-Kristin Steines et al.ARTICLECities2024Cited by: 1References: 28

    City Region Food System (CRFS) initiatives exist in various forms, featuring a diversified set of social, economic and environmental performances and impacts. The CRFS approach includes all actors, processes, and relationships involved in the food chain (from production and processing to the distribution and consumption of food) in a given geographical area. Therefore, it encompasses the most crucial elements for facilitating interactions between…

  • The role of urban agriculture in food-energy-water nexus policies

    Open AccessRunrid Fox-Kämper, Caitlin K Kirby et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2023

    The growth of urban agriculture (UA) has raised the awareness of city officials and civil society organizations of its potential effects on food systems. This has led to various policies to regulate and support UA. This research characterizes existing food, energy and water (FEW nexus) policies based on policy data from five case study cities in Europe and the U.S. (Dortmund, Gorzów Wielkopolski, London, Nantes, and New York City) to analyze thei…

  • Differences in motivations and social impacts across urban agriculture types

    Open AccessCaitlin K Kirby, Kathrin Specht et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2021

    Urban agriculture is an increasingly popular approach to addressing negative social and health effects of cities. Social benefits of urban agriculture include improved health and wellbeing, economic opportunities, social cohesion, and education. However, the extent to which urban agriculture participants are motivated by or experience these impacts has rarely been measured quantitatively, especially across the many different types of urban agricu…

  • Alternative = transformative? Investigating drivers of transformation in alternative food networks in Germany

    Open AccessFelix Zoll, Kathrin Specht et al.ARTICLESociologia Ruralis2021Cited by: 4References: 51

    In the hope for more sustainable agriculture and a stronger connection to their food, an increasing number of consumers participate in alternative food networks (AFNs) characterised by short food supply chains. However, it cannot be assumed that AFNs inherently transform the prevailing system and its respective practices around food. Thus, we apply a social innovation perspective to enable a comprehensive analysis of changed values, social practi…
