countryside and on the sea.
The city eats. It eats food, but also it consumes the land needed to produce it. The flows
created by an urban settlement in relation to its food requirements are very intense, important

distribution and logistics. It is not merely a quantitative aspect: let's think about CO2
emissions; we have access to foods that originate thousands of miles away. The valorization of
local production (the concept of zero km) certainly entails a reduction of greenhouse gas
emissions and the promotion of the local economy. This, however, also leads to a reduction of
the variety and, to some extent, the culture of food. An irreconcilable contradiction?
