Abstract

The contemporary relationship between city and agriculture is undergoing two processes: on the one hand the urbanisation of agriculture and on the other hand the ‘agriculturalisation’ of the city. The first proposition sounds obvious and refers to the effects of urban sprawl. The ‘agriculturalisation’ of the city may be a more surprising proposition, and is worth explaining. After identifying its main characteristics, we propose an analysis of this process in Geneva, Switzerland. In the last part, we put forward the limitations to the process, and by so doing, critically examine the role of agriculture as a tool for urban planning.
