    Overview
    Présentation

    Juxtaposition of the terms “agriculture” and “urban” appears somewhat paradoxical in an era when our cities are so artificialised and disconnected from the rural world. Yet, in some countries, a significant proportion of the food supply is still produced in or in immediate proximity to cities; such was the case in France up until relatively recently.
