ABSTRACT

This paper furthers the development of the theory of agrarian citizenship–the bundle of rights and responsibilities underpinning the food sovereignty movement. Through interviews with 34 participants engaged with urban agriculture in Metro Vancouver, Canada, we introduce the concept of urban agrarianism, defined as an urban ethic of care for foodlands and, by extension, a relational responsibility to exercise solidarity with those who cultivate and harvest food. We argue that urban people, especially those with privilege, should recognize impacts associated with their social-ecological metabolism, and mobilize for food sovereignty struggles—including for the repatriation of lands stolen by colonial dispossession.

摘要

本文进一步发展了农业公民理论——支持粮食主权运动的权利和责任。通过对加拿大大温哥华地区从事都市农业的 34 名参与者的采访，我们介绍了都市农业主义的概念，它被定义为一种关心粮食的城市伦理，进而是一种与种植和收获粮食的人团结一致的相关责任. 我们认为，城市人，尤其是那些享有特权的人，应该认识到与其社会生态代谢相关的影响，并动员起来进行粮食主权斗争——包括归还因殖民掠夺而被盗的土地。
