This paper reflects on the cultivation of landscapes for food in urban and urban fringe areas. Urban agriculture and food production is now gaining attention from academics and policy-makers as a potential contributor to more sustainable urban living. A summary literature review (based on a larger study) indicates the plurality of theoretical approaches and a considerable history of urban food cultivation and landscape issues. Through a critical analysis of current research and project initiatives around the world, seven key issues are identified: interaction with landscape, community connections, lifestyle choice and healthy food production, social inclusion and equity, landscape character, technologies, urban policy and the regeneration of landscapes. We suggest that these provide a useful basis for further investigation into a rich area of potential landscape research.
