Central to imagining and working toward alternate futures—futures more abundant, just, and caring than many in our more-than-human midst are experiencing now—is articulating the ways in which our present is already multiple, already pluriversal. Moreover, as academics interested in these ideals, we might consider it our political responsibility to share examples of the pluriverse where we find them. However, calls for illuminating and enacting the pluriverse are sometimes vague about what we can do beyond researching and publicizing important social movements. This paper argues that enrolling theories of care and commoning to examine everyday phenomena can be a powerful move toward identifying and amplifying the pluriverse. Care and commoning both foreground how more-than-human wellbeing is actively nurtured in collective, relational ways. Further, we argue that cities, outwardly prominent manifestations of “universal” capitalism, are in fact rich in pluriversality. The ways in which alternate realities (and possible futures) are performed is of course varied, uneven, and full of struggle. Here, we use a case study of urban fishing to document and amplify such performances as part of the project of moving toward abundant futures. We highlight especially the elements of urban fishing that resist a capitalist culture, namely, claiming time and space for rest, sharing, and connection with more-than-human others. In doing so, we show how the theoretical development of ideas of the pluriverse and abundant futures might be improved with focused empirical work.

Urban planning is critical in mitigating the impacts of disasters, enhancing community resilience and promoting sustainable development. This review study systematically analyzes the role of urban planning in disaster risk reduction (DRR) through a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach. By reviewing scholarly articles and case studies, this paper examines various urban planning strategies that contribute to DRR, including land use planning, infrastructure development, risk mapping, and community engagement. The findings highlight the effectiveness of integrating risk assessments into urban planning processes, the importance of adaptive infrastructure design, and the need for inclusive planning practices that involve local communities in decision-making. The review also identifies challenges such as inadequate policy implementation, lack of resources, and the need for interdisciplinary collaboration, analyzing participation and academic importance, and correlating the publication of papers with the number of reported disasters. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature, this review underscores the potential of urban planning to reduce disaster risks and enhance urban resilience. The paper concludes with recommendations for policymakers, urban planners, and researchers to strengthen DRR initiatives via strategic urban planning practices. This review contributes to the growing body of knowledge in DRR and emphasizes the critical role of urban planning in creating safer, more resilient cities.

Ensuring sustainability in the production and marketing of agricultural and food products after natural disasters is of critical importance to maintain beneficial nutrition for society. Examining the effects of earthquakes on the agricultural and food sectors is important in terms of drawing attention to the possible risks they may pose to societies that have not experienced large-scale earthquakes. This study examines firms in the agriculture and food sectors of Malatya province that were affected by the devastating earthquakes centered in Kahramanmaraş on 6 February 2023. This study aimed to determine the effects of earthquakes on firms in the agriculture and food sectors, the factors affecting firms’ production and marketing processes, and the priority issues for them. Data obtained from 44 firms registered in the agricultural and food sectors of the Organized Industrial Zone of Malatya province were used. This study reports their general structure and frequency distributions by firm characteristics. In addition, statistical analysis methods, such as the chi-squared test, t-test, and factor analysis, were used for data evaluation. The results showed that 79.5% of firms export and make a significant contribution to Türkiye’s agricultural and food product trade. The primary factors influencing firms, based on their size, included workforce availability, raw material supply, transportation logistics, and financial assistance. Firms’ earthquake insurance, providing earthquake training for their employees, and constructing durable buildings were the most important factors in ensuring sustainability in production and marketing. These results further show that firms in the agriculture and food sectors in Malatya province were greatly affected economically by the earthquakes. Important lessons emerged as a result of these earthquakes experienced in Türkiye. The economic disruption following earthquakes may be overcome with less damage by constructing disaster-resistant buildings, instilling awareness of living with earthquakes in society, and creating safe production environments. This field study will guide sector stakeholders in building a resilient supply, production, and marketing network in preparation for future earthquakes.
