Integrated Urban Agriculture : Precedents, Practices, Prospects

Intended as a ‘one stop shop’ of a veritable who’s who of
leading urban agriculture authors and scholars, this book brings together
multiple contributions on the design, development, science, and society of the
rapidly expanding, multi-disciplinary field. The book is accessible, well written,
free of jargon, and full of pictures, graphics and charts.

Exciting and innovative, Integrated
Urban Agriculture combines original papers and commentary/reflections to
them which make it a perfect candidate for class discussions. The contributors
form an exceptional international, interdisciplinary, expert dream team. Many
of these authors have already been recognised as key contributors to this
literature. However, the way the book is designed – as a conversation among a
group of scholars, thinkers, authors – allows fresh new insights and adds
vibrancy to this volume. It is not a simple how to do UA book. It is a
thoughtful book about re-imagining urban living, urban livelihoods, and urban
culture through urban agriculture.
