Abstract

Une revue de littérature des typologies de modèles d’agriculture urbaine (AU) et de leurs contextes de mise en place est présentée, ainsi que des besoins de production et des impacts de l’AU. Il décrit tout d’abord les différentes stratégies qui permettent de s’adapter aux spécificités de la géographie urbaine, au contexte local et aux objectifs des agriculteurs : niveau d’intégration aux bâtiments, cultures hors-sols ou dans le sol, taille, nouvelles technologies et régime foncier (légalité de la parcelle). La composition interne des parcelles, et notamment la diversité d’espèces, varie aussi selon le contexte biophysique et la finalité de l’exploitation (agriculture commerciale ou non). Le document s’attarde ensuite sur les limites pouvant impacter la productivité d’une parcelle en AU, particulièrement l’accès limité à des sols, de l’eau et de l’air de bonne qualité (non pollués). Certaines solutions peuvent être mises en place : usage de compost, différentes sources d’eau, plantes filtrantes, etc. L’AU peut avoir des impacts négatifs sur les écosystèmes et la santé humaine (pollution, maladies, etc.) mais elle peut aussi permettre des améliorations (réduction des ilots de chaleur, corridors verts, etc.), selon ses méthodes de gestion. Enfin, une analyse SWOT de l’AU est proposée, ainsi qu’une série de recommandations relatives aux modalités de mise en place de l’AU.
