It reviews recent research and projects on the subject and presents concrete actions aimed at making urban agriculture happen.
As pioneering thinkers in this area, the authors bring a unique overview to contemporary developments and have the experience to judge opportunities and challenges facing those who wish to create more equitable, resilient, desirable and beautiful cities.
