  • Building Diverse, Distributive and Territorialized Agri-Food Economies to Deliver Sustainability and Food Security Ana Moragues
    Building diverse, distributive and territorialized agri-food economies to deliver sustainability and food security Ana Moragues-Faus, Terry Marsden, Barbora Alderová and Tereza Hausmanová Abstract: This paper seeks to understand how agri-food economies can address current sustainability and food security challenges in the context of increasing economic and health inequalities. For that purpose, we cross-fertilize economic geography and food studies literature to develop an innovative conceptual framework that builds upon three currently fragmented bodies of work: the diverse economies literature, the distributed economies framework, and territorial and place-based approaches to food security. The proposed diverse, distributive and territorial framework further develops existing relational, performative and spatial approaches to explore changing economic geographies of agri-food systems. The application of this framework to investigate fruit and vegetable provision in the city of Cardiff (UK) reveals the key role of connective, fluid and multi-functional infrastructures to reconfigure foodscapes. Specifically, our analysis shows how food infrastructures have the potential to act as bridging conceptual, material and socio-political devices. The proposed framework ultimately serves as a capacity building tool to re-assess and rebuild territorialized agri-food economies which champion diversity and redistribution of value with the aim of delivering wide societal and material benefits, enhance democracy and increase the socio-ecological resilience

  • A Participatory Action Case Study of Guerrilla Gardening in Kingston, Ontario
    Intervening with agriculture: a participatory action case study of guerrilla gardening in Kingston, Ontario Annie Crane Queen’s University Department of Environmental Studies Advisors: Leela Viswanathan and Graham Whitelaw ENSC 502/503 Thesis Project: Final Draft April 8, 2011 Abstract: The purpose of this study was to analyze guerrilla gardening’s relationship to urban space and social life using a critical Marxist approach. To achieve this two case studies of urban agriculture, one of guerrilla gardening and one of community gardening were developed. Through this comparison, guerrilla gardening was framed as a method of spatial intervention, drawing in notions of spatial justice and the right to the city as initially theorized by Henri Lefebvre. The case study of guerrilla gardening focuses on Dig Kingston, a project started by the researcher in June of 2010 and the community gardening case study will use the Oak Street Garden, the longest standing community garden in Kingston. The community gardening case study used content analysis and semi-structured long format interviews with relevant actors. The guerrilla gardening case study consisted primarily of action-based research as well as content analysis, and semi-structured long format interviews. By contributing to the small, but growing, number of accounts and research on guerrilla gardening this study analyzes the unique contributions of guerrilla gardening to understandings of urban agriculture by linking together material practices, social spaces and envisioned or possible geographies. 2 Acknowledgements: I would like to thank all of the participants in this research including members of the Dig Kingston collective, Oak Street Community Garden, community food activists and city officials.

  • Orange Wines
    ORANGE WINES ElMundo de los Vinos Naranja / The World of the Orange wines / Il Mondo dei Vini Orange Slovenian wine tour 4 June, 2019 162 What if one day we would want to go on a wine tour through a European country that was small both in size and in wine production? A place that was yet-to-be-discovered, but which at the same time excellent wines were elaborated? A good choice for this would be Slovenia. The first thing would be to choose our destination airport. Another good thing about Venice is its airport, that for such a small town is served by a large number of airlines that come from almost anywhere in the world. Once there, the only thing left to do is rent a car and go to neighboring Slovenia. Our destination is just an hour and a half from the airport, following the A4 motorway in the direction of Trieste. Other arrival possibilities are the airport of Trieste or the farthest one of Ljubljana, although Venice is the one that enjoys better connections (and better prices as well). During our trip we will spend a few days in one of the four wine regions of this small country with just over two million inhabitants sharing borders with Austria, Italy, Hungary and Croatia. Though it is not widely known, Slovenia has a great wine tradition with a number of wineries exporting their wines all over the world. Primorska is the easternmost Denomination of Origin and it is divided into four areas: Vipavska Dolina (Vipava river valley), Kras, Slovenska Istra and Goriška Brda.

  • Working Co-Operatively for Sustainable and Just Food System Transformation
    sustainability Article Working Co-operatively for Sustainable and Just Food System Transformation Poppy Nicol * and Alice Taherzadeh Sustainable Places Research Institute, Cardiff University, CF10 3BA, Cardiff, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-2922-510-064 Received: 31 January 2020; Accepted: 4 March 2020; Published: 2 April 2020 Abstract: Co-operative ways of working can be understood as people-centred approaches. This article considers how co-operative ways of working have the potential to support the scaling-out of sustainable and just food systems in the context of Wales through people-centred change. Drawing upon a series of interviews with stakeholders involved in the sustainable and the co-operative food sector within Wales and international case studies, opportunities and challenges facing the scaling-out of sustainable and just food systems are considered. Findings demonstrate the potential of co-operative and community-based approaches to sustainable production, processing, distribution, and trading of healthy food that is affordable, culturally appropriate, and based upon an ethic of justice and care for land, workers, and animals. Community supported agriculture, incubator farms, food hubs, and platform co-operatives are identified as key mechanisms for sustainable and just food systems. Capacity building through education, information, and training are further critical foundations for co-operative and people-centred ways of working. In order to accelerate sustainable and just food futures, community-based participation, networks for training, access to resources and land, and transformative forms of governance, including legislative change, are key. We conclude by highlighting implications for future research into policy transfer and food system transformation.

  • Rhetorical Gardening: Greening Composition
    Rhetorical Gardening: Greening Composition A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School Of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature of the College of Arts and Sciences by Carla Sarr June 2017 Master of Science in Teaching and Secondary Education, The New School Committee Chair: Laura R. Micciche Abstract Rhetorical Gardening: Greening Composition argues that the rhetorical understanding of landscapes offers a material site and a metaphor by which to broaden our understanding of rhetoric and composition, as well as increasing the rhetorical archive and opportunities for scholarship. An emphasis on material place in composition is of particular value as sustainability issues are among the toughest challenges college students will face in the years to come. Reading landscapes is an interpretive act central to meaningful social action. The dissertation argues that existing work in rhetorical theory and composition pedagogy has set the stage for an ecological turn in composition. Linking ecocomposition, sustainability, cultural geography, and literacy pedagogies, I trace the origins of my belief that the next manifestation of composition pedagogy is material, embodied, place-based, and firmly planted in the literal issues resulting from climate change. I draw upon historical gardens, landscapes composed by the homeless, community, commercial, and guerilla gardens to demonstrate the rhetorical capacity of landscapes in detail. Building from the argument that gardens can perform a rhetorical function, I spotlight gardeners who seek to move the readers of their texts to social action. Finally, I explore how the study of place can contribute to the pedagogy of composition.

By looking through the lens of an early eighteenth century French garden design treatise, we can trace their rise to popularity during the second half of the seventeenth and early eighteenth century to their gradual decline as a garden feature during the second half of the eighteenth century.
