Urban hunters and gatherers - an exploration into different varieties and their relevance to industrial ecology

摘要: The advent of the anthropocene was preceded by holocene. One characteristics holocene is that it a period with stable temperature and weather patterns, which in turn enabled development an agricultural society. Before that, human subsistence relied heavily on hunting gathering. Given climate change more unstable present-day practices gathering for become relevant to explore. In this study, focus turned onto urban environments. Empirical cases mainly Goteborg region (Sweden) are documented. Many varieties found, ranging from dumpster-diving, street angling, 'nicking' fruits both public private gardens. Some have even operationalised as businesses (food rescue ventures). An attempt quantifying evaluating environmental significance these made based estimates volumes time used together accounts interviewees. analysis discussion delves into how planning enables or hinders such activities, what extent important resilience sustainability.
