520 Faced with a global threat to food security, it is
perfectly possible that society will respond, not by a
dystopian disintegration, but rather by reasserting co-
operative traditions. This book, by a leading expert in
urban agriculture, offers a genuine solution to today's
global food crisis. By contributing more to feeding
themselves, cities can allow breathing space for the rural
sector to convert to more organic sustainable approaches.
Biel's approach connects with current debates about
agroecology and food sovereignty, asks key questions, and
proposes lines of future research. He suggests that
today's food insecurity - manifested in a regime of wildly
fluctuating prices - reflects not just temporary stresses
in the existing mode of production, but more profoundly
the troubled process of generating a new one. He argues
that the solution cannot be implemented at a merely
technical or political level: the force of change can only
be driven by the kind of social movements which are now
daring to challenge the existing unsustainable order.
Drawing on both his academic research and teaching, and 15
years' experience as a practicing urban farmer, Biel
brings a unique interdisciplinary approach to this key
global issue, creating a dialogue between the physical and
social sciences.
