Food system transformation for sustainable city-regions: exploring the potential of circular economies
研究聚焦英格兰北部地区，探讨新冠疫情如何挑战线性思维和孤立政策，分析循环食物经济在推动城市区域食物系统向可持续目标转型中的潜力。
Calls for food system transformation to strengthen synergies between socio-economic and environmental goals have been growing in recent years. As yet, however, insights from theoretical debates have not been tested against the actions and perceptions of food system actors. To add empirical weight to this debate, we focus on a region in the north of England where the Covid-19 crisis has challenged the embeddedness of linear thinking and siloed policy approaches. Based on an exploration of the potential of ‘circular food economies’, the analysis provides insights into the capacity of ‘city-regions’ to reorientate food system dynamics towards sustainability objectives.
