L’engagement militant dans la recherche en agriculture urbaine. Réflexions sur le contexte français au miroir duscholar activismnord-américain

Urban Farm DB summary

A collective reflection on militant/activist engagement in urban agriculture research in France and the United States, based on a qualitative literature review complemented by a series of seminars. It finds that US research on urban agriculture, rooted in critical and militant geography, has concentrated on community gardening and promoted food justice, whereas in the French context the spaces and actors studied are far more diverse but critical and political reflexivity is comparatively less developed. The article concludes with a call for greater critical reflexivity in this field.
