Urban Farm DB summary
A refereed book chapter commissioned by the international RUAF Foundation and the international Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems, supported by the FAO and the CGIAR research consortium, appears in a book conceived as a decennial "state of the art" publication on international developments in urban agriculture. It presents an overview of developments and drivers affecting intra- and peri-urban agriculture, drawing on the authors' research on integrating agriculture into urban and city-region land use planning and urban space design. Citing examples from the Global North and South and themes from an international Arts and Humanities Research Network led by Viljoen and Bohn, it offers an international perspective on spatial and policy impacts in this rapidly transforming practice.
