| Acronym | Urbanising in Place (Reference Number: 11326801) |
| Duration | 01/03/2018 - 28/02/2021 |
| Project Topic | Farmers and food growers can play a role in managing the urban food-water-energy nexus. Process of urbanization today disable the metabolic agency of urban food growers. This projects seeks to define components of an “agroecological urbanism”: a model of urbanisation which places food, metabolic cycles and an ethics of land stewardship, equality and solidarity at its core. Working with communities of practice in Rosario, Riga, Brussels and London, the project will identify ways of structuring urbanization that value proximity, account for the reproduction of nutrients and soils, mobilize technologies and decommodified value chains in order to keep the control over resources localised. |
