“…The prospect of greater visibility is inconvenient and may even represent a danger; they feel threatened by evictions and prefer to remain out of the sight of territorial authorities and the electricity company, in particular. From this perspective, incorporating farmers into an economic and political system may reinforce their vulnerability, exposing activities that were ignored until now, in contested spaces (Adam & Mestdagh, 2019). The discreet character By allowing farmers to cultivate the land under power lines, the electricity company uses farming as a land use method to control urban sprawl.…”

Food justice and land justice in São Paulo: urban subsistence farming on the margins of the city

By relying on the case of São Paulo, this article seeks to develop a critical look at urban farming and its potential for contributing to food justice. While this activity constitutes a means of subsistence for urban communities, it is also underlain by principles relating to land ownership, which tend to divert attention from its primary role in food systems. There is an important need first to fight against land inequalities and bad housing in São Paulo, before considering urban farming as a lever for food justice. For this study, I made use of qualitative surveys carried out between 2018 and 2022 in São Paulo, during which I conducted 118 interviews with farmers, consumers, shopkeepers, associations and politico-administrative institutions. My results show at first a socio-economic dichotomy between well-off city dwellers who use community gardens and farmers who practise urban farming on the margins of the city. I maintain that the issue of food justice affects the latter and is filtered through a policy of institutional action and visibility. In conclusion, I argue that urban farming is a potential lever for food justice which is still highly constrained by inequalities and land speculation in São Paulo.

“…Scholars have noted similar inequities in France, showing, for instance, how new forms of collective gardens emerge in gentrified neighborhoods while ignoring the role of working class dwellers in their past and present history (Adam and Mestdagh 2019 ). In Paris, for example, the lack of permanent land tenure for gardeners undermines low-income gardeners’ efforts to maintain a place not only for leisure and social activities, but also for food provisioning (Pourias et al 2016 ).…”

Translating land justice through comparison: a US–French dialogue and research agenda

et al. 2021

In this discussion piece, eight scholars in geography, urban planning, and agri-food studies from the United States (US) and France engage in a bi-national comparison to deepen our collective understanding of food and land justice. We specifically contextualize land justice as a critical component of food justice in both the US and France in three key areas: access to land for cultivation, urban agriculture, and non-agricultural forms of food provisioning. The US and France are interesting cases to compare, considering the differences and similarities in their colonial and agricultural histories, persistent and systemic race and class-based inequities in land access, and the roles of public bodies and social movements. In this paper, we synthesize literature, share reflections, and offer directions for future scholarship, including a broader comparative research agenda. An important difference we found is in the degree of scholarly attention to race and how it mediates access to land. We also observe that few scholars articulate a clear definition of justice in their work, nor do they share a common justice framework. We hope that this paper contributes to a more robust food and land justice framework for the use of scholars, practitioners and activists.
