AESOP Sustainable Food Planning Group Creating sustainable food systems is one of the most compelling challenges of the 21st Century. Because of its multi-functional character, food is an ideal medium through which to design sustainable places, be they urban, rural or peri-urban places. For all these reasons, food planning is now bringing people together from a diverse range of backgrounds, including planners, policy-makers, politicians, designers, health professionals, environmentalists, farmers, food businesses, and civil society activists among many others.

Welcome
The group connects early stage career researchers, policy-makers and practitioners in the field of sustainable food planning from all over the world. We aim at creating a dedicated space for collaboration, learning and exchange among peers during (and beyond) the AESOP Sustainable Food Planning Conferences. We organise side events during the annual conferences, but also webinars and workshops throughout the year. In 2017, for instance, we organised two workshops. In March, in Berlin, we held a twoday event hosted by the Georg-Simmel Centre for Metropolitan Studies with a keynote speech by Katrin Bohn, a training session about networking by Neela Enke and several sessions dedicated to individual presentations by participants (a couple of pictures below). On the second day, the group went on a field trip to the Allmende Kontor (one of the biggest community gardens in Berlin), located in the former Tempelhof airport. A report of the workshop can be found here. In Coventry (UK), in November, we organised a one-day event preceding the 8th Annual Conference of AESOP Sustainable Food Planning Group, hosted by the Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience at Coventry University. During this workshop we held 3-minute thesis presentations and one training session about academic publishing. We also had the pleasure to attend a masterclass with professor Kevin Morgan from Cardiff University. After his speech, filled with his personal experience as an expert researcher in the field of food systems sustainability, we had the opportunity to interact with him, through questions and discussions about a great variety of topics connected to food.

At the interface between global and local forces, today’s City Regions are increasingly recognised as the relevant scale for developing integrated and effective solutions to build more sustainable, just and secure food systems. Current paradigms are moving beyond the idea of City Regions as geographically bounded places towards conceiving them as dynamic spaces of interactions. In the last decade, local institutions, civil society initiatives, producers, but also multi-stakeholder organisations, have developed innovative practices and policies, offering context-specific solutions for designing and developing resilient and equitable City Region Food Systems (CRFSs). Often the outcome of contested political processes and complex spaces of negotiations, these new practices and policies have challenged mainstream thinking and top-down institutional dynamics to develop new urban-rural interactions on food-related issues. CRFSs have recently received increasing attention as a promising territorial approach to urban food systems. They consider the city and its rural hinterland as a functional and spatial continuum. By focusing on rural-urban linkages in terms of social, functional and agro-ecological interactions, CRFSs have the potential to connect issues usually separated such as food provisioning, processing, marketing, consumption and waste. Moreover, CRFSs have recently been considered crucial in integrating planning, climate change adaptation and disaster-risk reduction, both at the urban and territorial level. Despite a growing number of diverse food-related initiatives in cities, research and policies inspired by the concept of CRFS remain still marginal. Most cities ignore the contribution of the rural hinterland in building sustainable plans and projects, and producers in the hinterland hardly sell their products directly to urban markets. This workshop aims at improving the understanding on how City Region Food System can serve as a key framing concept to improve mainstream planning, business and governance processes, and as a practice to nourish the development of more sustainable, resilient and agro-ecological food systems.

INTRODUCTION TO USING THE TEMPLATE
18
This document is a template for Microsoft Word versions 6.0 or later. Styles used are: title, author, abstract, normal text, heading 1 (as in ‘introduction' above) and footnote. Subheadings (as ‘Figures and tables’ in next column are italicized normal text. Do not change the font sizes or line spacing to squeeze more text into a limited number of pages. Use italics for emphasis; do not underline. Please note that there is a tab at the beginning of each paragraph, except for the first paragraph in a section.
PROCEDURE FOR SHORT PAPER SUBMISSION Short Papers must be submitted before the 20th of March 2018 by sending to aesop.sfp.torino2018@gmail.com. Papers received after this deadline cannot be included in the workshop. Papers exceeding 2 pages will also not included. The submitted short papers will be included in the workshop bundle and website as received and with only limited editing. We recommend that you get one or two colleagues to proofread the paper.
to be as concise as possible, presenting only the most relevant data in condensed form. In the fourth section, you should explain how you will interpret your results (do not leave the reader thinking "So what?"). Continually refer to your results (but do not repeat them). Do not extend your conclusions beyond those which are directly supported by your results. Speculation has its place, but should not form the bulk of the discussion. Be sure to address the objectives of the study (which you stated in the introduction). Discuss the significance of your results in light of other published work. End the discussion with a short summary or conclusion regarding the significance of the work.
HELPFUL HINTS ON FORMATTING Figures and tables As there will be no final formatting of your paper, you need to place figures and tables in the paper accordingly, usually at the top or bottom of column. Large figures and tables may span both columns, but it is easier to include a one-column figure or table. Place figure captions below the figures; place table titles above the tables. Please verify that the figures and tables you mention in the text actually exist. Please do not include captions as part of the figures. Do not put captions in text boxes linked to the figures. Do not put borders around the outside of your figures. Use the abbreviation “Fig.” except at the beginning of a sentence, where “Figure” should be used. Do not abbreviate “Table.” Tables and figures are numbered with regular numerals. Insert tables by use of the Table lay-out, not just as tabulated text and data. Table 1. Soil properties for the two studied soils (Style used
STRUCTURE OF THE SHORT PAPER The short paper should be structured as any other scientific publication. You should start with an introduction which includes background information (why is the topic of your research relevant? What have other authors found out about the topic?) and the specific question you tried to answer in your study (what is your aim and/or hypothesis?). The second section should explain the methods you used, so that the readers have clear information on how (and where) the data were collected and what methods were used to analyse the data. The third section should present the results of your research, i.e. describe your major findings. Please try 1

Numbers Figures are used for all units and quantities (e.g., 8 mm, 3 years, 6 kg) with a space between the figure and the measurement description. In descriptive text, numbers from one to nine are spelled out and figures are used for 10 and over (e.g., six pigs, 27 sows) except where the number begins a sentence, thus: "Ten years ago ....". If you use percentages, please do not include a space between the number and the percentage sign (e.g. 20% of farmers). Abbreviations and Acronyms Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text. Do not use abbreviations in the title unless they are unavoidable. Data and units Indicate which measure is being used when data are presented; e.g., 53.8 ± 1.5 g/L (mean ± SE). For tests of significance, use the form, e.g., 'P<0.001'. Use of SI units is strongly encouraged. Use the center dot to separate compound units (A·m2). Tense If you wish, you may write in the first person singular or plural and use the active voice (“We observed that...” instead of “It was observed that ...” or “The authors observed that...). Remember to check spelling. If your native language is not English, please get a native speaker to proofread your paper.
GUIDELINES FOR REFERENCES In text. In the body of the text, references should be cited according to the following rules. - Where a paper is by three or more authors, the name of the first author should be followed by et al. [Smith et al. (2006) demonstrated…] or [as previously demonstrated (Smith et al., 2006)]. - Please place a comma between the author's name and the year (Smith et al., 2006; Xu, 2015). - The earliest work is reported first. - Letters following the year are used to differentiate between two or more papers with the same authors and the same year (Holland, 2006a, 2006b). - A semi-colon separates reference to different authors (Smith, 2006; Jones et al., 2009).
Reference list A complete list of the references cited in the text must be arranged alphabetically at the end of your paper under the heading References. For papers published in journals: Authors' names, year of publication, title of paper, name of journal (in full and italics), volume number (issue), and the first and last page numbers should be given, in that order. For books: Authors' names, year of publication, title of book (in italics), volume or edition number, place of publication and name of publisher should be given in that order. For chapters in a book: Authors' names, year of publication, title of chapter. In: editors. Title of Book (in italics), first and last page, place of publication and name of publisher.
