AB  - Food has always been an urban issue. The role of cities in building more sustainable food
systems is already recognized and related to other urban domains, such as transport, health,
land use planning for agriculture and multifunctional areas, community development,
employment generation and waste management. The implications of these on urban planning
and practice are however less evident. A proper spatialization of the food system and of its
metabolic flows is missing, inhibiting their necessary readings for urban design. This paper
addresses this gap. After introducing the concept of food system and discussing its spatial
components – production, transformation, distribution, commercialization/consumption and
waste management – we expose how a set of food-related activities and initiatives are shaping
the Lisbon Metropolitan Area. The socio-ecological metabolic flows established by these
operations on the ground and their sustainability impacts are established, based on the
analysis of five municipalities: Lisbon, Oeiras, Alcochete, Palmela and Montijo. The results
reveal how food is already an opportunity for the creation of jobs, healthy food markets and
the promotion of land productivity, in particular on a micro scale. The paper recognizes the
importance of localized food systems and their particular metabolic flows, capable of
boosting opportunities to overcome physical and social obstacles and to increase the
possibilities for urban planning to target the urban food system on a wider scale. Finally, it
concludes that the overall food system of a metropolitan area is more than the sum of the
several food systems operating in that same region
