Agriculture is confronted with changing societal expectations and demands regarding its role in food production and in the countryside. Complying with these expectations and demands will require a comprehensive, far-reaching and therefore far from easy and long-lasting transition of agriculture. This books seeks to explore the seeds of this transition by describing and analysing the production of promosing novelties in relation to to the dominant regime. On a theoretical level this books aims at the integration of hitherto largely disconneted disciplines and bodies of literature.

This highly original work examines the rise of the urban food planning movement in the Global North and provides insights into the new relationship between cities and food which has started developing over the past decade. It sheds light on cities as new spaces for food system innovation and on food as a tool for sustainable urban development. Drawing insights from the literature on socio-technical transitions, the book presents examples of pioneering urban food planning endeavours from North America and Western Europe (especially the Netherlands and the UK). These are integrated into a single mosaic helping to uncover the conceptual, analytical, design, and organizational innovations emerging at the interface of food and urban policy and planning. The author shows how promising "seeds of transition" to a shared urban food planning agenda are in the making, though the urban food planning niche as a whole still lacks the necessary maturity to lastingly influence mainstream planning practices and the dominant agri-food system regime. Some of the strategic levers to cope with the current instability and limitations of urban food planning and effectively transition it from a marginal novelty to a normalized domain of policy, research, and practice are systematically examined to this end. The conclusions and recommendations put forward have major implications for scholars, activists, and public officials seeking to radically transform the co-evolution of food, cities, and the environment.

It's clear that change isn't easy. It can lead to rocky roads, broken relationships, myriad of unknowns, and ultimately, a new way of living. However, we don't have to fear the changes, whether internal, external, or both. What we can do is recognize that change does not have to define our experience or how we respond to it. By following and practicing each of these nine steps, we all have the power to live through the changes, work through our fears and embrace the transitions that create a more positive reality. This could mean changes to our mindsets, surroundings, health, and ultimately, our well being.

The story begins as a killer cyclone ravages the vulnerable nation of Bangladesh. More than a million people are dead and twice that number homeless. Rice fields, polluted with salt water devastate the food supply. The people of the region face starvation. So begins the largest population shift in recorded history. Many of them will come to America to start a new life. By the year 2057, extreme weather, caused by climate change, grows more frequent year by year. Super cell tornado and hail bearing storms move through the mid-west destroying millions of acres grain. Twin category five hurricanes hit the east coast, taking out tens of thousands of fruit trees, and crippling poultry and pork farms. While residents travel inland to rebuild their lives, the nation's cities suffer. Population stress and food shortages make life in the cities more difficult. As food becomes harder to grow, the price of food rises. America's families struggle to buy food. Global food security is at risk and people look to leadership for help. A group of unlikely heroes comes together to form the Genesis Project. Each character, from different lifestyles and cultural backgrounds come together to perform the experiment. They will have to act quickly because time is running out. Dr. Jarod Farra is one of those characters. An assistant professor of agriculture at Cornell University, he is driven by his passion to find better ways to grow food. Jarod will help find the answers that make the difference. Together, the team at the Genesis Project will strive to change the world.

Seeds of Sustainability is a groundbreaking analysis of agricultural development and transitions toward more sustainable management in one region. An invaluable resource for researchers, policymakers, and students alike, it examines new approaches to make agricultural landscapes healthier for both the environment and people. The Yaqui Valley is the birthplace of the Green Revolution and one of the most intensive agricultural regions of the world, using irrigation, fertilizers, and other technologies to produce some of the highest yields of wheat anywhere. It also faces resource limitations, threats to human health, and rapidly changing economic conditions. In short, the Yaqui Valley represents the challenge of modern agriculture: how to maintain livelihoods and increase food production while protecting the environment. Renowned scientist Pamela Matson and colleagues from leading institutions in the U.S. and Mexico spent fifteen years in the Yaqui Valley in Sonora, Mexico addressing this challenge. Seeds of Sustainability represents the culmination of their research, providing unparalleled information about the causes and consequences of current agricultural methods. Even more importantly, it shows how knowledge can translate into better practices, not just in the Yaqui Valley, but throughout the world.
