“…In their piece, the author points out that indeed, the urban agriculture literature has primarily focused on landscapes as biophysical spaces in which to grow food, rather than as humanized spaces in which to grow experience, making the case for different dimensions of what is well-being and consideration for achieving outcomes, such as the UN's Sustainable Development Goal 11. Specifically, in order to invigorate case study descriptions through the reflexive tool of narrative scholarship, it is necessary to leave the desk behind and enter the field (France, 2022). Das (2022), in their contribution from India, found that in organized green spaces, environmental justice must be developed and managed.…”

In recent years, the pressing environmental, social, and economic problems affecting cities have resulted in the integration of the disciplines of landscape architecture and urban forestry via a transdisciplinary approach to urban planning and design. Now, new urban forestry approaches and concepts have emerged for more sustainable city planning. The discipline is using different methods and approaches to address many pressing issues such as human well-being and also food security. But, research on these topics is still limited and not available for many cities in the world. To fill this gap, we present this thematic issue “From Smart Urban Forests to Edible Cities: New Approaches in Urban Planning and Design.” The findings from this thematic issue offer new insight to policymakers and practitioners, as well as contribute to the emerging literature on edible and forest cities. Furthermore, the findings spanning different cities from different geographies can be used towards achieving the 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals of making cities and human settlements more resilient, inclusive, safe, and sustainable, as well as ending hunger, achieving food security, and improving nutrition. However, further studies are still needed, especially in developing countries and the Global South.

Forestry in South Carolina has an annual economic impact of $23 billion and provides over 100,000 jobs statewide. Approximately 87% of forest lands in South Carolina is privately owned and faces shifts in ownership and management practices that may impact forest health. We conducted a bus tour that demonstrated the entire life cycle of a loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) forest from final harvest through forest maturity. The bus tour was aimed at increasing landowner knowledge and influencing the likelihood that they will implement forest management practices. An evaluation using multiple methods was conducted to determine whether the bus tour achieved its objectives. Qualitative and quantitative data converged to show that the forest management bus tour appeared to have been effective in increasing forest landowner knowledge and intent to implement forest management practices, thus potentially increasing forest health across the state. Study Implications: Despite extensive knowledge that is readily available to forest landowners, many landowners are still reluctant to implement forest management practices that lead to improved forest health. With over 87% of forest lands in South Carolina in private ownership, it is imperative to educate and encourage forest landowners to implement forest management practices that can help increase forest health. The outcome of a multiple methods evaluation of a forest management bus tour to educate landowners suggests that showing forest landowners management practices on the ground and explaining the associated terminology is likely to increase the adoption of forest management practices.
