Å øke ambisjonene for urbant landbruk i det offentlige rom: å fremme urban agroøkologi og planetær helse

Chiara Tornaghi

Urban Farm DB summary

This chapter, based on 15 years of research, identifies key shortcomings in urban planning policy that prevent urban agriculture from reaching its full potential for human and non-human health. These include the failure to recognize urban agriculture as food production, the invisibility of soil and its role, and the neglect of soil care and food production specialists in public land design and soil management. The chapter suggests that agroecological considerations can enhance urban agriculture's ambition in public spaces.
