Foodshed, Agricultural Diversification and Self-Sufficiency Assessment: Beyond the Isotropic Circle Foodshed-A Case Study from Avignon (France)

Jose Luis Vicente-Vicente et al.

Summary: The study proposes a method that combines the Metropolitan Foodshed and Self-sufficiency Scenario model to address the shortcomings of foodshed methods, considering crop diversity and soil conditions to support urban food strategies. The research shows that expansion of the foodshed radius is necessary to achieve higher self-sufficiency for animal products when specific soil conditions are taken into account.

Know the Farmer That Feeds You: A Cross-Country Analysis of Spatial-Relational Proximities and the Attractiveness of Community Supported Agriculture

Christina Gugerell et al.

Summary: The study found the importance of relational proximity in enhancing the attractiveness of Community Supported Agriculture by increasing trust, collaboration, and the sharing of values and knowledge within and across organizations in the food system. Focusing on relational proximity rather than spatial proximity may support alternative food networks such as Community Supported Agriculture.

Identifying agricultural areas with potential for city connections: A regional-scale methodology for urban planning

Guy Boussougou Boussougou et al.

Summary: This study aims to characterize the spatial structure of periurban agriculture for urban development purposes without relying on costly surveys. Using Partial Least Squares-Path Modeling (PLS-PM) and freely available data in France, the study successfully identifies spatial units of periurban farmland and potential areas for short marketing chains towards urban centers, highlighting the need for public support in local supply options.
