Agricultures dans la ville, agricultures pour la ville : vers de nouvelle figures de l’agriculture et de l’agriculteur (exemples franciliens et français) ?

Urban Farm DB summary

Drawing on examples from the Île-de-France region and elsewhere in France, this piece discusses urban and peri-urban agriculture. It frames urban and peri-urban agriculture — once considered marginal and destined to disappear — as now an issue for both the sustainable city and sustainable agriculture, noting that most visions of the post-carbon 'city of tomorrow' describe a city made up of a concentration of compact urbanized zones alongside landscape fragments, each serving specific urban functions.
