The agroecological movement is gaining presence in urban spaces, transcending the rural areas where it originated and revealing the need for an alliance between both worlds. As the social justice dimension is at the core of agroecology, one would expect that designing urban food systems with an agroecological approach would prioritize deprived neighbourhoods. However, this is not happening. To overcome it and address food poverty, we explore spatial design principles inspired by agroecology, to transform production and consumption along the urban-rural transect. We developed a methodology and applied it to a vulnerable neighbourhood (Bellas Vistas in Madrid, Spain), to outline a network of productive spaces and collective facilities for an agroecological transition that overcomes the middle-class bias commonly observed in Alternative Food Networks. It defines mechanisms to connect local needs with available resources, considering self-supporting communities, empty plots and underused spaces and buildings, as well as institutional policies and plans. This way, the traditional assistance approach can be replaced by a structural solution that disrupts dominant relationships bringing food sovereignty a step closer.

农业生态学对抗马德里贫困社区的粮食贫困

农业生态运动正在城市空间中越来越多地出现，超越了它起源的农村地区，并揭示了两个世界之间结盟的必要性。由于社会正义维度是生态农业的核心，人们会期望采用生态农业方法设计城市粮食系统将优先考虑贫困社区。然而，这并没有发生。为了克服它并解决粮食贫困问题，我们探索了受农业生态学启发的空间设计原则，以改变城乡断面的生产和消费。我们开发了一种方法并将其应用于一个脆弱的社区（西班牙马德里的 Bellas Vistas），勾勒出一个生产空间和集体设施网络，以实现农业生态转型，克服替代食品网络中常见的中产阶级偏见。它定义了将当地需求与可用资源联系起来的机制，考虑到自给自足的社区、空地和未充分利用的空间和建筑物，以及机构政策和计划。这样，传统的援助方法就可以被一种结构性解决方案所取代，这种解决方案打破了主导关系，使粮食主权更近了一步。
