SOCIAL DIMENSION OF URBAN AND PERIURBAN AGRICULTURE

Abstract The introduction of agriculture in cities is one of the current priority axes for urban environmental reform. There is a broad consensus in this regard, largely because of the improvement of urban ecosystem balances. However, urban agriculture also offers various possibilities for society to the extent that it can contribute to solving urban poverty situations, while improving the public health of the neighborhoods where it is located, especially based on ecological principles. In addition to other advantages that directly involve the population that practices agriculture or that has it as a food source. In this way, urban agriculture helps mitigate the double socio-environmental dimension of the planetary ecological crisis of our time. In this sense, this study aims to deepen the social dimension of urban agriculture by problematizing experiences of different cities in the world (particularly Barcelona, Girona and Natal), the latter as contextualization, proposing a scheme of the different types of advantages that it entails. The conclusion points in the direction of a social phenomenon marked by territorial resistance and transition towards a more balanced and counter-rational productive paradigm opposed to the globalized totalitarian capitalist paradigm.

摘要：都市农业融入城市发展是当前城市环境改革的核心优先领域之一。该领域已形成广泛共识，这在很大程度上源于都市农业对城市生态系统平衡的改善作用。然而，都市农业还为社会提供了多元价值实现路径：它不仅有助于缓解城市贫困问题，还能改善所在社区的公共卫生状况，这一效益尤其依托生态学原则得以落地。此外，都市农业还具备多项直接惠及从业人群与以其作为食物来源群体的优势。
就此而言，都市农业有助于缓解当代全球生态危机所兼具的社会与环境双重维度困境。有鉴于此，本研究旨在通过对全球不同城市（尤其巴塞罗那（Barcelona）、赫罗纳（Girona）与纳塔尔（Natal），其中纳塔尔作为案例背景）的实践经验进行问题化剖析，深化对都市农业社会维度的研究，并提出都市农业所能带来的各类优势的分类框架。
研究结论指向一种以地域抵抗为核心特征的社会现象，该现象朝向更为平衡的、与全球化极权资本主义范式相悖的反理性生产范式转型。
