The Edible City: Why Food Trees Matter | United Nations iLibrary

This guide is designed to help local and national officials implement integrated nature-based solutions for enhancing food resilience in urban areas. By strategically integrating fruit-bearing trees, “food trees” into city landscapes, the guide promotes healthier, more sustainable, and shock-resistant urban ecosystems. While urban forestry and greening initiatives often focus on environmental, social, and economic benefits, the potential of productive trees in urban spaces to strengthen local food systems is frequently overlooked. These trees are often seen as more of a challenge than a solution, and this perception is reflected in urban planning and policies. Despite challenges related to governance, policy, space, and maintenance, these trees offer untapped potential for creating greener, more equitable cities. The guide's key focus is on developing methodologies to enhance food security through integrated solutions, while also exploring policy frameworks and practical steps for embedding food trees in urban environments. The practical and policy guidance provided in this guide is designed to support collaboration and planning efforts related to the integration of urban food trees. By fostering cross-sectoral collaboration, this resource is intended for policymakers, practitioners, and private sector entities involved in implementing advanced strategies and identifying best practices. The guide aims to facilitate the development of necessary policies and regulatory frameworks to drive progress in this area and establishing sustainable, resilient and food secure cities for all.
