Place for agriculture urban periphery

Trajectory

Substantive comments or questions info@destadsacademie.be

In this trajectory, we interrogate urban policy from the perspective of sustainable agriculture. In urban policy, agriculture is mostly conspicuous by its absence. In the opposition between city and countryside, agriculture does not belong in the city. The recent focus on urban agriculture, also in Ghent, already has the merit of breaking down this stereotypical dichotomy and also makes it clear that urban food policy need not be limited to discussions on sustainable consumption. But at the same time, the urban agriculture paradigm mainly fills the regained space for urban food production in the interstices of the existing city: on roofs, in the public domain, on brownfields, and on residual plots here and there. In this track, we turn the picture around and look for an urban vision of agriculture, one that the city can mould itself to rather than the other way around.

The starting point of this trajectory is that the current mode of urbanisation, in Ghent and elsewhere, excludes sustainable food production and systematically displaces it elsewhere. In this perspective, a sustainable urban food system presupposes a reorganisation of the city. This position is the reason for interrogating the city from the perspective of sustainable agriculture.
