City as edible infraestructure.
“So the food situation is totally
mad. The mindset seemed to be that cities are for people to live and work in
and the countryside is for growing food. However, things are changing fast, […]
planners and architects are starting to accord for food systems the same
priority as transport or housing”.

Keywords: food culture, food
production, urban agriculture, urban design, water collection, research and
educational programs, resources management, citizen initiatives, social
cohesion, entertainment, creative business, healthy cooking, etc.
The development of all these urban
strategies, designed through cartographies and geographical, urban, climatic,
ecological or social maps, will lead to a new edible city concept: the
geography of food.
