Welcome to a discussion looking at the diversity of actors involved in urban agriculture, and how their different visions, goals and solutions shape narratives of urban development and food system transformation.

In this Ask the author webinar will also discuss how different spatial scales and geographical contexts interact in local urban food systems and what this means for ‘who’ urban agriculture is for.

On this occasion, we will be joined by Anke Brons and Koen van der Gaast from Wageningen University to discuss their research paper A tale of two labs: Rethinking urban living labs for advancing citizen engagement in food system transformation, published in Cities in 2022

The article is available here

Ask the author sessions is a seminar format containing an author-led discussion and reflection on a recent publication related to food systems sustainability. As is customary to our sessions, we invite a small group who approach this topic from different backgrounds and areas of expertise to join the panel.
