This book explains how cultural heritage can be a tool for
enhancing urban agriculture and improving landscape and life
quality. It cuts across the existing literature and fills the gaps
between urban agriculture, considered as a food, social and
environmental opportunity and cultural heritage, considered as
resource. It focuses the role of the countryside for urban areas,
in the history of the city and today. Its attention is on the
quality for all areas, both outstanding, ordinary and degraded, as
well as large, little or fragmented (European landscape convention
2000). It considers agricultural landscape as a system of tangible
and intangible heritage components and relationships, to be
retained, enhanced and transmit, in a process of inevitable but
appropriate dynamic conservation and management over time
(ICOMOS-IFLA Principles 2017). This book can benefit the
collaboration among local players - such as farmers, citizens,
associations, public institutions, stakeholders - in conserving and
enhancing agrarian heritage and reinforcing the identity of places
and people. It can strengthen collective action and generate
positive effects on good large and local -scale management. The
first part has a methodological character in order to enlighten the
integrated approach between cultural heritage and urban
agriculture. The second part exemplifies cases where the heritage
has been recognised but not yet translated into concrete action.
The third Part discloses ongoing process of co-construction, where
policies have recognized the cultural, environmental and social
meaning of urban agriculture as heritage. This book aims to reach
scholars, local administrations, professionals, farmers and
citizens. It involves many authors, many of whom are directly
engaged with action-research in safeguarding and implementing the
mutual interaction between urban agriculture activities and
agrarian heritage.
