Connections and missing links within urban agriculture, food and food systems

So far Urban Agriculture - UA and food have been increasingly part of various research programs and activities and at the same time leading Portuguese institutions in these fields have been organizing scientific events with significant production. What seems missing though, and this is normal with such a vibrant dynamics, is to better connect the different fields of knowledge and disciplines that have been involved so far. Therefore the focus of this scientific event proceedings, and its expected added value, is to offer an open platform to engage debates on how to connect the various disciplines and different sectors that have been engaging on food and UA so far and that are contributing, from their own perspective and driving logics to a better understanding of the field. The event explored interconnected fields that structure the present e-book.
