Edible City Solutions—One Step Further to Foster Social Resilience through Enhanced Socio-Cultural Ecosystem Services in Cities

Abstract: Nature-based solutions have not been able to actively involve citizens and to address successfully food security, poverty alleviation, and inequality in urban areas. The Edible City approach promises a strategic step towards the development of sustainable, livable, and healthy cities. We introduce the conceptional framework of Edible City Solutions (ECS), including different forms of urban farming combined with closed loop systems for sustainable water, nutrient, and waste management. We review scientific evid… Show more

“…It is true that GI is currently emerging by becoming an interesting tool for cost-effective urban sustainability [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], and for this reason it is seen in the framework of the present paper as a main point of this case study in terms of innovative architectural programmatic regeneration and applied thermal engineering investigation. Additionally, as it results from Taylor Lovell's research [20] it is argued that the contemporary Occidental world employs urban agriculture as a new boundary for land use planning, architectural, and landscape design in order to follow "a sustainable urban development and transformation of the cityscape supporting community farms, allotment gardens, rooftop gardening, edible landscaping, urban forests, and other productive features of the urban environment" [20].…”

“…Nevertheless, the thermodynamic potential of indoor urban agriculture is not explicitly studied. Besides, in recent years as a response to the immediate need of urban renovation in order to face the multifaceted climate crisis, green infrastructure (GI) in the form of urban agriculture has been increasingly recognized by all the actors that participate in the creation and regeneration of the urban fabric (stakeholders, municipalities, politicians, architects, engineers) as an essential concept targeting the livability of cities [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Taylor Lovell [20] also states in her paper that urban agriculture has "historically been an important element of cities in many developing countries; nevertheless recent concerns about economic and food security have resulted in a growing movement to produce food in cities of developed countries including the United States".…”

“…Initiatives based on edible urban green space directly and lastingly involve citizens in social processes, ranging from co-design to co-implementation and long-term co-management of evolving edible green spaces. ECSs invite citizens to co-create sustainable development pathways for their society and proactively change urban environments to their own benefit and thus induces a paradigm shift towards a more connected urban lifestyle [20].…”
