This collection reviews key recent research on developing urban and peri-urban agriculture. Parts 1 and 2 review current research on ways of building urban agriculture, from planning and business models to building social networks to support local supply chains. The third part of the book surveys developments in key technologies for urban agriculture, including rooftop systems and vertical farming. Chapters also assess 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, aquaculture and forestry. With its distinguished editor and range of expert authors, this will be a standard reference on building and supporting urban agricultural networks.
