Urban Planning
"The Food Interest Group and the Sustainable Food Planning Group can look back at more than ten years of exchange in research and teaching activities on this topic. The relative neglect of food in the history of urban planning until the mid-1980s is partly explained through the historical physical and mental separation of town and country. Food has been treated as a question of agriculture and constructed as belonging to non-urban territories. A large section of the food planning literature reflects a general effort to analyse the environmental performance of the urban ecosystem, reducing the extractive use of resources brought in from elsewhere and internalising the negative externalities caused by urban growth. Food planning by and large still treats the city as a container in which food needs to be retrofitted." : https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9780429433566-2/food-urban-question-foundations-reproductive-agroecological-urbanism-deh-tor
