ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on food. Meeting the challenge of feeding city dwellers healthy food is considered, in a way that simultaneously replenishes natural resources, by reducing food waste, minimising the use of animals for food, reducing the impacts of food processing, improving the way that food is grown to repair soils and biodiversity loss, and providing food more locally. Various examples are considered from cities around the world, including a neighbourhood planned around an agricultural college and farm, along with the question of whether we can produce enough food, vertical farming, aquaponics, artificial meat and insects for protein.
