Beschreibung
City Farm explores the vital connection between agricultural production and urban consumption, revealing how farms and cities are interdependent. The book examines food systems through a geographic and environmental lens, emphasizing the reciprocal relationship between food production in rural areas and consumption patterns in urban centers. For example, did you know that cities have historically relied on surrounding farmlands for sustenance, a relationship significantly altered by globalization? The book presents a holistic view of food systems, considering environmental, economic, and social dimensions. Analyzing the evolution from local agrarian models to complex global supply chains, City Farm is structured in three parts: agricultural production, urban food consumption, and the interconnections between these two environments. It presents case studies of sustainable food systems, offering a comprehensive overview accessible to students, policymakers, and anyone interested in food security and environmental sustainability.
