Editorial: Biodistricts: a concrete example of sustainable food systems

Biodistricts are territories where farmers, citizens, public authorities and other local actors realize a formal agreement aimed at the sustainable management of local resources, based on the principles and model of organic farming and on the agroecological best practices, in order to boost the economic and socio-cultural development of their community. This Research Topic focuses on understanding the role of biodistricts in enhancing the sustainability of food systems and whether or how they represent a concrete example of sustainable food systems. Different examples from around the world, and different analytical approaches, have been provided by the studies included in this topic.
