Cities are becoming key transition spaces where new food governance systems are being fashioned, creating spaces of deliberation' that bring together civil society, private actors, and local governments. In order to understand the potential of these new urban food policy configurations, this paper draws on urban political ecology scholarship as a critical lens to analyse governance-beyond-the-state processes and associated postpolitical configurations. Taking Bristol and Malmo as empirical case studies, the paper illustrates the different paths that cities are taking as they strive to fashion more sustainable urban foodscapes. The analysis highlights the contested nature of sustainability in transition studies and explores whether concerted action on the part of civil society and municipal government is capable of creating more inclusive food narratives. Although progressive political currents can be neutralised by incumbent elites, as theorists of the postpolitical city' have argued, these cities also show that the food system is a highly contested battleground in which the themes of sustainability and justice can help to mobilize progressive forces and open up a range of new political possibilities.
