Description
Most of us live in cities. These are becoming increasingly complex and removed from broad-scale agriculture.
Yet within cities there are many examples of greenspaces and local food production that bring multiple benefits that often go unnoticed.
This book presents a collection of the latest thinking on the multiple dimensions of sustainable greenspace and food production within cities.
It describes the diversity of 'urban agriculture' and seeks a balanced representation between the biophysical and the social.
It deals with urban agriculture across scales - from indoor plants to farm-scale filtration of greywater.
A range of examples and initiatives from both developed and developing countries is described and evaluated.
