Contribution of urban agriculture in ensuring a healthy and sustainable food system in the metropolis of Rouen, France

Résumé

Urban agriculture and gardening in cities is nowadays increasingly recognized through initiatives such as the Milan Urban Food Pact (MUFP, 2015). Moreover, there is a growing awareness on the part of citizens of the significant and positive contribution that a link with nature can make to our mental health and well-being (Uhlmann et al., 2018; Boukharta et al., 2024a). The present study focuses on the analysis of two urban agriculture practices in the city of Rouen, France, where an evaluation has been made of the value distribution created by through their implementation, as well as an assessment of the benefits they bring in the economic, social and environmental terms. This work analyses the governance structures of these initiatives, in order to identify their feasibility and financing. The methodology consists of interviews with stakeholders involved in the operation, including project managers, members of the municipality, and other actors, and where the findings are analysed through NVivo Software. The results show that the two social cases evaluated have a common main objective, which is to ensure a better green environment for the city's inhabitants, while reconnecting them with nature and offering them the opportunity to grow their own fresh food and improve their well-being (Boukharta et al., 2023). Regarding the governance, both structures have a well-defined structure that enables them to be well organized and stable, allowing for a better flow and continuity of these urban practices (Halloran and Magid, 2013).
