By contributing more to feeding themselves, cities can allow breathing space for the rural sector to convert to more organic sustainable approaches. Biel?s approach connects with current debates about agroecology and food sovereignty, asks key questions, and proposes lines of future research. He suggests that today?s food insecurity ? manifested in a regime of wildly fluctuating prices ? reflects not just temporary stresses in the existing mode of production, but more profoundly the troubled process of generating a new one. He argues that the solution cannot be implemented at a merely technical or political level: the force of change can only be driven by the kind of social movements which are now daring to challenge the existing unsustainable order. Drawing on both his academic research and teaching, and 15 years? experience as a practising urban farmer, Biel brings a unique interdisciplinary approach to this key global issue, creating a dialogue between the physical and social sciences 606 $aDevelopment studies$2bicssc 606 $aUrban communities$2bicssc 606 $aSociology & anthropology$2bicssc 606 $aSociology$2bicssc 606 $aUrban & municipal planning$2bicssc 606 $aSustainable agriculture$2bicssc 610 $aurban agriculture 610 $aco-operatives 610 $asustainability 610 $afood security 610 $aCapitalism 610 $aParadigm 610 $aSelf-organization 615 7$aDevelopment studies 615 7$aUrban communities 615 7$aSociology & anthropology 615 7$aSociology 615 7$aUrban & municipal planning 615 7$aSustainable agriculture 676 $a338.19 700 $aBiel$b Robert$4auth$01282247 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910836795603321 996 $aSustainable Food Systems$93018759 997 $aUNINA
