THE RESILIENCE AND DECLINE OF URBAN AGRICULTURE IN EUROPEAN HISTORYUrban agriculture is a highly diversified and multi-layered phenomenon, and its roots are both very old and very recent. Throughout European history, it has appeared in different forms and guises. In some periods and regions, urban agriculture seemes to have declined at an early stage, whereas in others urban economies and societies remained firmly based on more or less specialized and commercialized agrarian production until the recent past. At the beginning of the 21st century, in an urban world characterized by globalizing food markets, social polarization, but also increasing food insecurity, it is again rapidly gaining importance. Citizens practice urban agriculture in a combined effort to diversify their food supplies, shorten the food chain and strengthen community life. In order to understand the organization, the resilience and failure of urban agriculture in different contexts, this volume aims to develop a comparative and long-term approach, with a particular focus on the actors involved in urban agriculture, their income strategies, and the social and economic configurations in which they operate. RESILIENZ UND NIEDERGANG DER STDTISCHEN LANDWIRTSCHAFT IN DER EUROPISCHEN GESCHICHTEDie urbane Landwirtschaft ist ein vielschichtiges Phnomen, dessen Wurzeln unterschiedlich weit in der europischen Geschichte zurckreichen. In einigen Regionen schien die stdtische Landwirtschaft in einem frhen Stadium nachzulassen, in anderen beruhte die stdtische Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft bis in die jngste Vergangenheit fest auf einer mehr oder weniger spezialisierten und kommerzialisierten Agrarproduktion. Zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts gewinnt sie in einer von globalisierten Lebensmittelmrkten, sozialer Polarisierung, aber auch zunehmender Ernhrungsunsicherheit geprgten urbanen Welt wieder rasant an Bedeutung: StdterInnen betreiben Landwirtschaft in einem gemeinsamen Bemhen, ihre Lebensmittelversorgung zu diversifizieren, die Produktionsketten zu verkrzen und das Gemeinschaftsleben zu strken. Um die Organisation, die Resilienz und das Scheitern der stdtischen Landwirtschaft in verschiedenen Kontexten zu verstehen, zielt dieser Band darauf ab, einen vergleichenden und langfristigen Ansatz zu entwickeln. Dabei stehen die Akteure der stdtischen Landwirtschaft, ihre Einkommensstrategien und die sozialen und konomischen Bedingungen, in denen sie arbeiten, im Mittelpunkt.
