Abstract

Several international proposals promote sustainable food systems, such as the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact, the C40 initiative, the ICLEI (Local Governments for Sustainability) Food System, the Glasgow Declaration or Europe's own "Farm to Fork" strategy. But they are not yet clearly applied in urban planning, even though they can play a key role in the transition to agroecological and sustainable systems. In order to make this qualitative leap, we raise the need to systematize knowledge about several experiences that take advantage of innovative management mechanisms. For this reason, we present two significant examples with different degrees of development: the Urban Master Plan of the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona and the Biodistricts Plan in Andalusia. These plans have taken into account the ecological dimension: sustainable water and soil management and interaction with climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies; the economic dimension considering the potential for employment generation and local reactivation; and the social dimension related, among other aspects, to social cohesion and the strengthening of urban-rural links. Critical lessons can be drawn from these plans that would make it possible to operationalize the recommendations for spatial reorganization adapted to the specificities of agroecological systems.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2026-02-13:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 7.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 21 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 1.
