商品描述

Today, 20 percent of the global food supply relies on urban agriculture: social-ecological systems shaped by both human and non-human interactions. This book shows how urban agroecologists measure flora and fauna that underpin the ecological dynamics of these systems, and how people manage and benefit from these systems. It explains how the sociopolitical landscape in which these systems are embedded can in turn shape the social, ecological, political, and economic dynamics within them. Synthesizing interdisciplinary approaches in urban agroecology in the natural and social sciences, the book explores methodologies and new directions in research that can be adopted by scholars and practitioners alike.

With contributions from researchers utilizing both social and natural science approaches, Urban Agroecology describes the current social-environmental understandings of the science, the movement and the practices in urban agroecology. By investigating the role of agroecology in cities, the book calls for the creation of spaces for food to be sustainably grown in urban spaces: an Urban Agriculture (UA) movement. Essential reading for graduate students, practitioners, policy makers and researchers, this book charts the course for accelerating this movement.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

今天,全球20%的食物供應依賴於城市農業:這是一種由人類與非人類互動所塑造的社會生態系統。本書展示了城市農業生態學家如何測量支撐這些系統生態動態的植物和動物,以及人們如何管理和從這些系統中獲益。它解釋了這些系統所嵌入的社會政治環境如何反過來塑造其內部的社會、生態、政治和經濟動態。本書綜合了自然科學和社會科學中城市農業生態學的跨學科方法,探討了學者和實踐者都可以採用的研究方法和新方向。

《城市農業生態學》匯集了利用社會科學和自然科學方法的研究者的貢獻,描述了當前對城市農業生態學的科學、運動和實踐的社會環境理解。通過調查農業生態學在城市中的角色,本書呼籲在城市空間中創造可持續生產食物的空間:一場城市農業(Urban Agriculture, UA)運動。本書是研究生、實踐者、政策制定者和研究人員的必讀書籍,為加速這一運動指明了方向。

作者簡介

Monika Egerer is a tenure-track professor in Urban Productive Ecosystems in the School of Life Sciences at the Technical University of Munich. Her research investigates relationships between biodiversity conservation, ecosystem service provision, and human wellbeing in urban agroecosystems. Her work aims to bridge theory and practice to create productive systems in cities that offer food, habitat and community.

Hamutahl Cohen is a postdoctoral researcher in Entomology at the University of California, Riverside. Her research investigates drivers of insect declines in changing urban landscapes and the subsequent impacts to ecosystem services in farms and gardens. She leverages natural ecology and molecular and microbial methodologies to address questions of applied significance for promoting food security.
