This issue of the Urban Agriculture Magazine addresses the growing attention for city region food systems. A policy and practice approach that focuses on urban food issues from a city-regional perspective. The approach takes into account contributions from urban and periurban agriculture and a strengthening of urban-rural relations.
The magazine features articles from cities involved in the SUPURBFOOD programme. The magazine was officially launched at the ICLEI Resilient Cities Congress on 10 June 2015 in Bonn, Germany.
Also available in Portuguese.
