Urban gardening and agriculture have become important elements of
sustainable urban planning in the context of persistent urbanization
amid limited resources. However, a consideration of the
cultural-historical dimension has been lacking up to now.

food production in cities to help preserve this valuable knowledge. On
the basis of current research findings, they develop new perspectives
and guidelines for recognizing traditional food production systems as an
aspect of cultural heritage and for dealing with urban agriculture
worldwide.
