Abstract

The article makes clear that urban agriculture is not a modern phenomenon, but in certain forms can look back on sometimes long traditions. Urban agriculture can therefore be addressed and developed as cultural heritage. This approach is occasionally taken up by supranational institutions such as UNESCO and FAO, whose heritage formats are explained and critically assessed. In addition, it is illustrated how local initiatives take up urban agriculture as cultural heritage in order to support a sustainable development.
