Abstract

The main focus of the paper is the analysis of the opportunities for new functions that sprawl may serve linked to agricultural network and food system. Urban agriculture in peri-urban zones is con- sidered as one of the strategies to contribute to more resilient urban food system. The policy scientific de- bats considere its potential co-benefits and contribu- tion to community organisation, city greening, waste management, food chain and food self sufficiency. In this territorial zones a different form of spatial quality reigns and different rules are applicable. Moreover, this middle condition entails many side effects. For example, the mixture between city, coun- tryside and nature provides a different view of the relationship between people and settlement (land- scape diversity). An interesting challenge is defining rules about pri- vate back-yard, public green, capable to integrate the planning of urban agriculture as productive landscape of the sprawl.
