Towards an Integrated, Critical Approach to Municipal Food Systems Planning in Calgary, Alberta
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In response to socioecological food systems concerns, municipalities—including the focus of this study, Calgary, Alberta—are increasingly integrating food systems into their planning processes and policies. This paper outlines the findings from a research initiative aimed to integrate food systems planning into a forthcoming revision of Calgary’s municipal-wide planning document to encourage a just, sustainable, and healthy food system for the city. The research methodology combines qualitative methods including a literature review to determine current food systems policy strategies and a case study approach to assess Calgary’s current food systems and policy context. Using a constant comparative approach to the data collected, three areas of recommendation emerged: the need for a systems approach to the integration of food planning within planning documents; a greater emphasis on inclusive governance practices and on critical equity approaches to food systems planning; and finally, a need for further resource allocation and evaluative processes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
