Policymaking for circular urban food systems: A systematic literature review of policy instruments and governance arrangements
Urban food systems impact environmental, economic, and social aspects of city life. However, the current organization of the food system is recognized as unsustainable, leading to increasing interest in circular food systems that aim to break away from linear consumption patterns. Despite this, the governance arrangements and policy instruments supporting circular food systems remain underexplored. This paper addresses that gap by reviewing existing literature on governance arrangements and policy instruments used by local governments to promote circular food systems, identifying practices, gaps, and potential pathways toward circular urban food systems. The results of the review indicate that many articles lack clear definitions of circularity, indicating the conceptual openness of circularity. Waste management dominates the policy objectives, including both recycling and reducing food waste. But also social aspects are targeted, such as food security and food sovereignty. Regarding policy instruments, informational and financial instruments are most commonly studied, while regulatory and organizational tools are less prominent. Governance arrangements are mostly collaborative, involving multi-stakeholder partnerships, but the political dynamics and effectiveness of these arrangements for more circular outcomes should be further investigated. In this regard, the article discusses the potential for more engagement with governance and public policy theorization to understand the role of urban circular food policies in governance, policy formulation, and implementation.
期刊介绍:
Regional Science Policy & Practice (RSPP) is the official policy and practitioner orientated journal of the Regional Science Association International. It is an international journal that publishes high quality papers in applied regional science that explore policy and practice issues in regional and local development. It welcomes papers from a range of academic disciplines and practitioners including planning, public policy, geography, economics and environmental science and related fields. Papers should address the interface between academic debates and policy development and application. RSPP provides an opportunity for academics and policy makers to develop a dialogue to identify and explore many of the challenges facing local and regional economies.
