Question: Introduction to the Special Issue “A Systemic Perspective on Urban Food Supply: Assessing Different Types of Urban Agriculture”
Answer: The production of food within cities through urban agriculture can be considered as a
nature-based solution and is argued to be an important response to the current COVID-19 pandemic
as well as to climate change and other urban challenges. However, current research on urban
agriculture is still fragmented, calling for a systematic and integrative assessment of different forms
of urban agriculture and the drivers and constraints for their effective realization. In this context,
the Special Issue presents conceptual and empirical research articles from around the world on
the impact and implementation potential of various types of urban agriculture. The studies of this
Special Issue cover a broad range of impact and implementation dimensions, asssessment methods
and geographical backgrounds that can support future studies to develop a systemic perspective on
urban food production
