Odlad motståndskraft - Urban odling som ett verktyg för resiliens?

Sammanfattning: The highly increased food prices in 2022–2023 are one of many crises that have and will affect different parts of the world on local bases. This prompts the need to strengthen resilience for humans to ease the negative effects and be able to bounce back from these critical events. Urban agriculture could be a way. Using the Swedish municipality of Malmö as a case study, the aim of this thesis is to examine the role of urban agriculture for urban resilience. This is done by using communicative planning as a way of contextualizing the topic. The work has been executed using a survey with Malmö’s inhabitants, an interview with a local organization that practices urban agriculture, as well as document analysis of municipal planning documents. The results show that there is an interest from the inhabitants for the practice. Together with the open definitions and focus on involving the inhabitants that pervade the documents these could be significant prerequisites for urban agriculture to be used as a tool for resilience in Malmö. These results contributes to the previously unexamined field of urban agriculture, resilience and communicative planning together and opens up for further research of the field.
