Though discussion about sustainable yield and production systems in agriculture has intensified in recent years, very little attention has focused on urban food systems. The proposed research on the practices of selected cities across the U.S. thus addresses a pressing social problem and a neglected area of research. The research will provide a description of local food production, availability, and disposal as they are influenced by organizations, municipal policies, and values. In addition, the research will include a review of options to make local food systems more sustainable. Alternatives will be examined to determine their organizational and policy requirements, underlying value assumptions, and ecological soundness. Finally, the investigator will produce a profile useful for policy analysis and a module for teaching which describes different food system policies, impacts, values, and choices. The project is structured to provide the investigator regular consultation with selected Advisors representing areas of expertise pertinent to the investigation. This project is distinctive in seeking to supply a knowledge base about production practices, values, and options and also to generate products for policy use and for teaching. Emanating from prior work by the investigator and pulling together threads of related work from other fields, the study promises to further the wide-ranging reflection on sustainability now underway in agriculture, urban/community, and ethics studies. Results will be widely disseminated in appropriate journals and periodicals and professional meetings. This proposal is a modest request for support to enable a very well qualified investigator with a very good track record to investigate urban food sytems and sustainability options bringing out issues of policy and values. The institutional support is very good; the research design and plan for the educational module are well developed; dissemination is likely to be broad and to reach a wide range of audiences. Support is highly recommended.

关于可持续产量和生产系统的讨论 近年来，农业的发展有所加强， 注意力集中在城市粮食系统上。 拟议 对美国选定城市的做法进行研究， 解决了一个紧迫的社会问题和被忽视的领域， research. 这项研究将提供当地食物的描述 生产、可用性和处置，因为它们受到 组织、市政政策和价值观。 此外该 研究将包括审查使当地食品 系统更可持续。 将审查替代方案， 确定其组织和政策要求， 潜在的价值假设和生态健全性。 最后， 调查员将编写一份对政策有用简介 分析和描述不同食物的教学模块 系统策略、影响、价值和选择。 该项目 为研究者提供定期咨询， 选定的顾问代表与以下方面有关的专业领域： 调查 该项目的独特之处在于， 提供有关生产实践、价值观和 选择，并产生产品供政策使用， 教学 研究者先前的工作产生的， 把其他领域的相关工作联系在一起， 研究有望进一步广泛思考 农业、城市/社区的可持续发展正在进行中， 伦理学研究。结果将广泛传播， 适当的期刊和专业会议。 这一建议是一个适度的支持请求， 一个合格的调查员，有很好的记录， 调查城市食品系统和可持续性选择， 政策和价值观的问题。 机构支持是 很好;教育的研究设计和计划 单元开发良好;传播可能广泛 and to reach到达a wide宽range范围of audiences观众. 支持度很高 推荐
