No Buts About It…The Value of Urban Food Production

Peri-Urban Food Production and Its Relation to Urban Resilience

Food production on the urban–rural fringe is under pressure due to competing land uses. We discuss the potential to improve resilience for urban–rural regions by enhancing food production as part of multifunctional land use. Through studies of peri-urban land in the regions of Gothenburg (Sweden), Copenhagen (Denmark) and Gent (Belgium), recent developments are analysed. Arable farming has been...

Track 2 Urban - Rural Continuum Successful Linkages Between Peri - Urban Food Production and Urban Market

At the core of the current agricultural system is a clear focus on increasedproduction, with increased intensification as the answer to current global societal andenvironmental issues. It is clear to many however that following a business as usual pathwill put increased tension on the already stressed planetary boundaries. Climate change,economic and demographic evolutions w...

Working Paper No. 13-37 Do Supply Restrictions Raise the Value of Urban Land? the (neglected) Role of Production Externalities

Restriction on the supply of new urban land is commonly thought to raise the value of existing urban land. Our paper questions this view. We develop a tractable production-externalitybased circular city model in which firms and workers choose locations and intensity of land use. Consistent with evidence, the model implies exponentially decaying density and price gradients. For plausible paramet...

study the effects of low level laser diode on no production and healing of diabetic and cortisone acetate and normal wounded sd rats

nitric oxide (no) is a small molecule synthesized by most of mammalian cells with diverse biological activities including vasodilatation, host defense and wound healing. impaired wound healing is a common occurrence among diabetics and patients receiving glucocorticoid therapy. on the other hand the application of laser in biomedical area have been increased. thus, the current studies were desi...
