项目摘要

While a large part of current research on the link between sustainability, ecological practices and ecosystem services (including urban agriculture) is focussed on high-density forms of urbanisation, in this project we take up the important challenge to reflect on loosely-urbanised landscapes on the metropolitan fringe, such as those of suburbs and low density conurbations. The horizontal metropolis of the peri-urban, which provides the specific context for this project, is confronted with an interesting paradox: agriculture is still largely present in these areas and exists in close proximity to new forms of urban settlement yet hardly entertains any relationship with them. At the same time, the remaining agricultural patterns perform vital open space and ecosystems services which are not valued by the logics of urbanisation. The de-valuing of these ecosystem services poses an ongoing threat to the farming practices that generate them.Farmers and food growing communities play a crucial role in managing the food-water-energy (FWE) nexus in the metropolitan fringe, but their often operate within precarious conditions in which nutrient cycles, energy conservation, water harvest, soil management and food production happen under marginal and residual conditions. Contemporary dynamics of urbanization tend to push farmers and food growers out of the city boundaries, displacing food production and resources conservation practices too. Nonetheless, peri-urban areas and the urbanising fringes of metropolitan areas tend to harbour a rich variety of farming practices and there is empirical evidence that urban farmers play a key role as localized and distributed operators of the food-water-energy nexus.'Urbanising in place' will imagine new ways to bolster the role of food growers in managing the FWE nexus rather than pushing them out. The project will explore how farming and food growing practices on the metropolitan fringe, threatened by an ever expanding urbanisation, may be reimagined and reconfigured within what we call 'agroecological urbanism': a model of urbanisation which places food, urban metabolic cycles and an ethics of land stewardship, equality and solidarity at its core. The project brings together innovative practices from 4 different contexts (Riga, Rosario, Brussels, London) in an international platform aimed at mutual learning and the identification of critical pathways for change.The research project will establish a transdisciplinary social platform (UFJ-ESRC 2011) that will act as a co-creation and learning lab that brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars, local government actors, national and international NGOs for the mobilisation of technical or policy knowledge, and community stakeholders.

虽然目前关于可持续性，生态实践和生态系统服务（包括城市农业）之间联系的大部分研究都集中在高密度的城市化形式上，但在这个项目中，我们接受了重要的挑战，以反映大都市边缘的松散城市化景观，例如郊区和低密度大都市。城市周边的水平大都会为本项目提供了具体的背景，它面临着一个有趣的矛盾：农业仍然在这些地区大部分存在，并存在于新的城市定居形式附近，但几乎没有与它们建立任何关系。与此同时，剩余的农业模式提供了重要的开放空间和生态系统服务，而这些服务并未受到城市化逻辑的重视。这些生态系统服务的贬值对产生这些服务的农业实践构成了持续的威胁，农民和粮食种植社区在管理大都市边缘的粮食-水-能源（FWE）关系方面发挥着至关重要的作用，但他们往往在不稳定的条件下运作，其中养分循环，能源保护，水收获，土壤管理和粮食生产发生在边际和剩余条件下。当代城市化的动态往往将农民和粮食种植者赶出城市边界，取代粮食生产和资源保护做法。尽管如此，城市周边地区和大都市地区的城市化边缘往往有各种各样的耕作方法，经验证据表明，城市农民作为粮食-水-能源关系的本地化和分布式运营者发挥着关键作用。“就地城市化”将设想新的方法来加强粮食种植者在管理FWE关系中的作用，而不是将他们赶出去。该项目将探讨如何在大都市边缘的农业和粮食种植的做法，受到不断扩大的城市化的威胁，可能会被重新想象和重新配置在我们所谓的“农业生态城市化”：一个城市化的模式，将食物，城市代谢周期和土地管理，平等和团结的伦理道德置于其核心。该项目汇集了来自4个不同背景的创新实践（里加、罗萨里奥、布鲁塞尔、伦敦）在一个旨在相互学习和确定变革关键途径的国际平台上开展的研究项目将建立一个跨学科的社会平台（UFJ-ESRC 2011），将作为一个共同创造和学习实验室，汇集了一个跨学科的学者，地方政府行为者，动员技术或政策知识的国家和国际非政府组织以及社区利益攸关方。
