Abstract: |
Food system closely relates to food security and urban sustainability, however, planners have paid little attention to food issues. At 2005 APA National Planning Conference, a special track of sessions on food planning subjects was held for the first time in APA’s history. Subsequently, food system planning becomes a booming issue. Based on literature reviews, interviews and investigation, the paper aims to explore the concept and current situation of food system, and the history, policy guide, content, and cases of food system planning in the United States. The paper hopes to benefit the initiation for food system planning in China, and facilitate the integration of urban agriculture into China’s urban planning. |
