Human health and wellbeing and the sustainability of urban-regional food systems

► Food systems under capitalist development have always had to confront the twin problems of food security and long-term sustainability. ► This resulted in a series of 'spatial fixes' which are now currently being progressively dismantled as the current food crisis deepens. ► The current crisis provides an opportunity to re-integrate human health and security concerns with those of sustainability, both at national and international levels.
