This collection reviews key recent research on developing urban and
peri-urban agriculture. Chapters first discuss ways of building
urban agriculture, from planning and business models to building
social networks to support local supply chains. Other chapters
survey developments in key technologies for urban agriculture,
including rooftop systems and vertical farming. The book also
assesses challenges and improvements in irrigation, waste
management, composting/soil nutrition and pest management. The
final group of chapters provides a series of case studies on urban
farming of particular commodities, including horticultural produce,
livestock and forestry.
