%T The Place of Urban Food Forests in Cities of the 21st Century %A Cariñanos, Paloma %A Borelli, Simone %A Conigliaro, Michela %A Fini, Alessio %J Urban Planning %N 2 %P 135-138 %V 7 %D 2022 %K ecosystem services; edible cities; food forests; food security; urban challenges; urban forests %@ 2183-7635 %U https://www.cogitatiopress.com/urbanplanning/article/view/5567 %X The history of urban food forests (UFFs) dates back to ancient times, when civilizations incorporated edible species into wild forests to create an ecosystem as natural as and self-sufficient as possible. Since the second half of the 20th century, the practices of integrating edible plants into ornamental landscapes have spread throughout the world. Currently, UFFs must face a number of challenges similar to those encountered by urban forests: land tenure, governance, technical capacities, and pollution and global change issues, and must be addressed in order to identify the most suitable combination of productive, environmental, and socio-economic functions of UFF. The events on a global scale that occurred in the first decades of the 21st century are forcing those who live and work in urban environments to react quickly to address the upcoming challenges. %C PRT %G en %9 Zeitschriftenartikel %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
