City Regions as Landscapes for People, Food and Nature
2014
This paper is focused on how agriculture – including the natural and cultural resources
that sustain people in and around cities, and even in remote rural areas
– provides important and reciprocal benefits to the sustainable development
of both rural and urban communities (see definition of sustainable agriculture
in glossary).
The intended audiences are sustainable development actors at multiple local,
national and international levels. Practitioners and policymakers active in the
relatively new fields of urban and regional or territorial planning for sustainability
and resilience are beginning to engage issues of food security, nutrition
and sustainable agriculture.
