Abstract Today the relationship between food and cities is revitalizing urban areas, as food production practices transform locales one block and one neighborhood at a time. The key catalysts of this transformation include the commitment to address the root causes of inequalities within food systems and the desire to increase local control over food systems that have been increasingly industrialized and globalized. These goals, encapsulated by the terms “food justice” and “food sovereignty,” play major roles in guiding local food initiatives in cities today. This study explores how justice-oriented urban agriculture projects transform city contexts in ways that reduce regulatory barriers – barriers that, when left in place, could perpetuate systems of oppression. The study ends with the argument that, by removing regulatory barriers, urban agriculture projects are transforming cityscapes in ways that cultivate justice at the system level.

对压迫体系的抵抗力日益增强：都市农业的变革力量探索

摘要如今，食品与城市之间的关系正在振兴城市地区，因为食品生产实践一次将一个区域和一个社区转变成一个区域。这种转变的主要催化剂包括致力于解决食品系统内部不平等的根本原因，以及对已经日益工业化和全球化的食品系统加强地方控制的愿望。这些目标由“食品正义”和“食品主权”两个术语所概括，在指导当今城市的本地食品计划中扮演着重要角色。这项研究探索了以司法为导向的城市农业项目如何通过减少监管壁垒的方式来改变城市环境，这些壁垒一旦搁置，便可能使压迫制度永存。该研究以以下论点结束：通过消除监管障碍，
