<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The resurgence of the commons as both a theoretical concept and practical tool for social transformation has become increasingly articulated in relation to urban environments, where the frictions,
contradictions, and tensions of capitalism are extremely apparent (Huron 2015). Starting from the premise that the commons are central elements of our collective subsistence (Mies & Bennholdt-Thomsen 1999), food(s) becomes an obvious point of attention. Whereas
food is a key dimension of the urban metabolic rift that crystallises in socio-environmental injustices in cities and beyond (Brenner and Katsikis 2021), a vast and diverse set of practices of food commoning has also emerged (e.g. self-organised food production
and redistribution, collective eating and cooking, urban gardening). As such, food has become a crucial vehicle for experimental and alternative value practices in cities which reflects the emergence of an
<i>urban food commons</i>. These urban food initiatives rely on collective resources, community-based responsibility and solidarity, and can challenge/resist the politics of individualisation and marketisation of the neoliberal era (De Angelis 2017). Importantly,
food brings to attention the importance and centrality of care and social reproduction for expanding the emancipatory possibilities of commoning (Sanchez 2023).</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Following a session on this topic at the ‘Social Solidarity Economy & the Commons Conference 2023’ in Lisbon, we aim to extend these incipient conversations into a coherent body of research.
In this Special Issue, we want to explore the challenges and opportunities for food commoning in relation to neoliberal urbanisation processes, and understand how these initiatives negotiate access, use, needs, responsibility, care, benefits, as well as risks
and limitations of urban food growing, provisioning and redistribution. We hope that a collection of (various) works and perspectives can help us identify leverage points that contribute to building bridges and strengthen urban food commoning as an everyday
practice of resistance and as a movement. </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
