“…This is a foodscape that addresses many of the challenges of "Contemporary urban food provisioning" as described by Wiskerke and Viljoen [8] (pp. [21][22][23][24][25] and has the potential-due to the scale and number of actors involved in relatively equitable relations and low external input food production-to address them further. These include: the pressure on farm incomes; loss of skills and knowledge from the farming and food production sector; environmental degradation; food waste; fossil fuel dependency; climate change; water stress; loss of biodiversity; and soil degradation [8] (pp.…”

Nonetheless, as we mentioned in the introduction, the literature on the local and localization has not elaborated on an aspect of bio-cultural anchorage of foodstuffs that could explain the survival of embeddedness from the substantive economy mentioned by Polanyi and of course foodstuffs of a territorial nature, despite the push to diversify production.…”

“…The foodscape: a new lens for understanding fisheries restructuring and community food security Because the landscape is an array of related features, so the foodscape is a spatial array of "the actual physical sites where we find food" (Friedberg 2010(Friedberg :1868.
