This topic dealt with the ways in which local-circular production enhances the resilience of
cities, while case studies were analyzed regarding urban and peri-urban agriculture. The study
was completed through five chapters, where more specifically, resilient cities were initially
defined and analyzed as well as the challenges that exist in the light of climate change, while
conceptual and determining factors for shaping resilient cities were also given. Then, reference
was made to the linear and circular production chain, while emphasis was given to the food
sector in relation to urban and peri-urban agriculture. The relationship between producer and
consumer was examined, as well as food safety in the present era. Emphasis was given to smart
agriculture and the development of digital innovations in this sector. There was also talk about
supported agriculture in terms of traceability and transparency, as well as the connection to food
and the supply chain as well as security conditions, emphasizing the importance of having
edible parks and vegetable gardens as well as community roofs. Then, the resilience of cities
was linked to local production and circularity. Specific indicators were recorded that
demonstrate the connection of resilience - circularity. Specific case studies related to the topic
under study were developed, highlighting the topic better. The study concluded that local food
production in urban areas reconnects residents with the land and production, promoting
inclusion, and awareness of food, as well as the use of technical tools such as heat storage
systems, digital yield monitoring and mapping of suitable areas can increase the sustainability
of the development of urban agriculture, which is a tool for political, environmental and social
strategies.
