Soil in the City: Sustainably Improving Urban Soils

Abstract: Large tracts of abandoned urban land, resulting from the deindustrialization of metropolitan areas, are generating a renewed interest among city planners and community organizations envisioning the productive use of this land not only to produce fresh food but to effectively manage stormwater and mitigate the impact of urban heat islands. Healthy and productive soils are paramount to meet these objectives.

“…Canada's International Development Research Center (IDRC) was a leading initial supporter of research and development in the Global South, and created the Global Facility for Urban Agriculture (GFUA) in 1996. The United Nations University, through its Food-Energy-Nexus Program, had a significant influence on UPA research in the 1980s (Sachs and Silk, 1990), with international development cooperation to support UPA accelerating in the 1990s (De Neergaard et al, 2009;Drechsel and Kunze, 2001 (Kumar and Hundal, 2016), this approach fails to recognize the existence and value of local experiential community knowledge. For example, the practical horticultural knowledge of South African Americans was recently employed to create an Okra plantation in New York City (Krasny and Tidball, 2012).…”

“…Kost veel geld en is een gigantische opgave (500.000 meter), dus het moet klimaatbestendig gebeuren. Met de groei van de wereldbevolking, een toenemend aantal inwoners van steden (United Nations, 2018) en een toenemende druk op ruimtegebruik voor bebouwing en infrastructuur neemt de vraag naar voedselproductie en groene ruimtes in en om steden toe (Kumar & Hundal, 2016). In Nederlandse steden biedt de bodemfunctie Voedselproductie en drager voor groenvoorzieningen kansen voor een aantal opgaven in stedelijk gebied (Van der Schans & Klein Gebbink, 2014):…”

“…Protecting and caring for nature has been a fundamental aspect of local and Indigenous cultures for tens of thousands of years and has more recently become a sustainability goal of cities around the world. The tremendous range of spiritual, cultural, social and ecological benefits provided by nature, together with the recognition of how colonial settlements and other types of unbridled urban growth have alienated and stunted nature's agency to thrive in cities, are generating a renewed awareness of the meaning and significance of conserving every aspect of urban nature—from safeguarding clean air, water and soil to maintaining the complexity of city‐wide metanetworks of interacting species (Cox et al, 2017; Davydova, 2005; Dearborn & Kark, 2010; Hartig & Kahn, 2016; Kumar & Hundal, 2016; Maller, Mumaw, & Cooke, 2018; McDonnell & MacGregor‐Fors, 2016; Nowak & Heisler, 2010). Not surprisingly, a wide array of theoretical and empirical research has focused on how best to manage existing nature in urban environments to maximize positive outcomes both for people (Dadvand et al, 2015; Flies et al, 2017; Hartig, Mitchell, Vries, & Frumkin, 2014; Keniger, Gaston, Irvine, & Fuller, 2013) and other species (Aronson et al, 2017; Baldock et al, 2019; Beninde, Veith, & Hochkirch, 2015; Lepczyk et al, 2017; Mata et al, 2017; Ossola & Niemelä, 2017; Parris et al, 2018; Soanes et al, 2019; Threlfall et al, 2017).…”
