For a long time, urban agriculture initiatives have been explored
and novel policy and planning practices have been investigated.
With the global food crisis the role urban agriculture has to play
becomes more and more urgent. The potentials are large: it brings
social justice, it limits climate change, it provides a healthy
urban condition, it stimulates biodiversity and gives disadvantaged
people an economic opportunity. After 15 years in the making, the
time is ripe to see whether the growing of food has established a
prominent position in urban planning and policies, food
productivity, safety and security, social well-being, the arts, and
human health. In this volume several aspects of growing food in the
city are explored. Urban Agriculture plays a significant role in
society. Nevertheless, it did not become a mainstream topic in
day-to-day practice. This book provides concrete solutions and
clues how to give urban food production a crucial role in the
future planning of urban environments.
