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.
