The Paris sustainable agri-food strategy: the role of public lands and the rural-urban linkages.
Since 2008, the City of Paris has been working on a food policy for the procurement of public canteens, urban agriculture and open-air markets. This food strategy has recently been extended to the Seine basin, with the support of AgriParis Seine. Based on a cooperative and interterritorial model, this food strategy goes beyond the central place Parisian model and questions the role of rural stakeholders in the food governance. The paper is based on the work of a Doctoral student involved in the City of Paris. Using the case of public land, it will show how Paris is reclaiming its public land inside and outside of the administrative boundary for agri-food projects, drawing on the experiences of other stakeholders in the agri-food system. Food public land could be understood as all the land that hosts each step of the food supply chain : land for production, land for storage, land for cleaning and peeling, land for transformation or cooking. The methodological framework which is based on land databases and interviews will be presented, along with two results. The first will be related to the public farmland : inherited from social and environmental hygienist polices, Paris is rediscovering its potential to accommodate and contribute to the food strategy, rather than a financial value. The second will focus on the land responsibility involved in the trade-offs between the cooperative food policy and the public land management.
