Abstract

Discourses on growing food in cities belong to the wider theme of the so-called Edible landscapes that represent the integration of food plants within a landscape design. There are many possible and definitions for this, but in general is possible to state that they are the result of the combination of fruit and nut trees, berry bushes, vegetables, herbs, edible flowers, and other ornamental plants into garden designs that may include a variable quantity of edible specimens. Urban Food Forest represent a rather new, way of interpreting edible landscapes with deep roots in the past. The innovative elements are traceable in two key words: forest and permanence.
