In an era where urbanisation is sweeping across the globe, bringing with it a wave of challenges, few issues are as pressing and demanding as feeding our ever-expanding urban centres. There is an urgent need for change in our urban food systems, delving into sustainable agriculture, urban farming and community-supported initiatives that are revolutionising how we nourish our cities. Pasang Sherpa and Cecilia Barocio are young pioneers, actively involved in promoting indigenous foods cultures and closing the gap between rural producers and urban consumers in Nepal and Mexico. So let’s learn from them: how can we achieve food system regeneration in our cities?
