Understanding power in food policy: A critical scoping review of methods to guide future research
Power disparities in the food system are reflected in food policy processes and outcomes that are failing to address major food system challenges. As interest in investigating and addressing these power disparities grows, it is important to assess the research methods that have been used to examine power in food policy, and how methodological choices shape our understanding. This scoping review critically maps the methodological approaches applie…
Emerging processes of territorial food systems governance: Lessons from a local food action plan in Sheffield, UK
Innovations in food policymaking and governance are increasingly emerging from the local level. This article reflects on an action research project to develop a local food action plan in the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire, UK, as both a networked food systems governance process and as a complementary form of local food policy. The article provides a structured reflection on the process of developing the action plan. The discussion finds tha…
Learning the city through urban agriculture
Learning the city refers to collective processes through which urban inhabitants experience, negotiate, and shape urban contexts. In the past decade, urban scholarship has emphasised the significance of learning the city as a political act. However, the full diversity of potentials of learning the city through urban agriculture remains underexamined. Drawing on fieldwork with an urban permaculture collective in Seville, Spain, this article examin…
Values-based food systems: The role of local food partnerships in England
This paper outlines the concept of values-based food systems building on the related idea of values-based food chains (VBFCs), terms which are definitionally diffuse but which cohere around a common commitment to environmental sustainability and social justice. The paper examines the development of four multi-stakeholder local food partnerships in Birmingham, Bristol, Rotherham and Sheffield—and the national Sustainable Food Places network to whi…
The Regenerative Lens: A conceptual framework for regenerative social-ecological systems
Societies must transform their dynamics to support the flourishing of life. There is increasing interest in regeneration and regenerative practice as a solution, but also limited cohered understanding of what constitutes regenerative systems at social-ecological scales. In this perspective we present a conceptual, cross-disciplinary, and action-oriented regenerative systems framework, the Regenerative Lens, informed by a wide literature review. T…
Sanitation challenges in Dar es Salaam: The potential of Simplified Sewerage Systems
In the context of growing urbanization, sanitation in many cities is in acute crisis with severe social and environmental consequences. The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of sanitation for all by 2030 is increasingly elusive. Municipalities have been experimenting with a range of lower-cost sanitation solutions. Simplified Sewerage Systems (SSS) have emerged in different cities as one response, but with mixed results. This paper evaluates an …
New geographical directions for food systems governance research
Food systems governance has emerged as a distinct focus of geographical research. Researchers and policymakers are increasingly engaging with food systems as complex, multi-scalar and cross-cutting sets of issues. This article examines the potential of critical, interdisciplinary readings of the relationships between the state, space and territory to explore new directions and opportunities for food systems governance research and practice. In do…

Review of the book Transtopia in the Sinophone Pacific, by Howard Chiang.
Making the city through participatory video: Implications for urban geography
Participatory video-making represents a significant opportunity within urban geography. Reflecting on two participatory video-making processes in Seville, Spain, this article examines, firstly, the epistemological opportunities contained within a participatory video-making process. Specifically, it reflects on the potentials and limitations of participatory video as a mode of urban geographical inquiry. Secondly, this article draws on critical ur…
Understanding and researching urban extreme poverty: A conceptual–methodological approach
Urban extreme poverty has long been regarded as a vital challenge for policy and practice, but how might we research it? In this article, we set out a two-step approach to identifying and understanding the nature of urban extreme poverty (UEP). We experiment with an approach that does not define UEP in advance but seeks to examine it through a series of dimensions and approaches. Drawing on the long history of research on UEP, we argue that resea…
