Beschreibung

This book examines the potential and pitfalls of planning for urban agriculture (UA) in the United States, especially in how questions of ethics and equity are addressed. It builds on the legacy of food systems scholar and advocate, Jerome Kaufman. Divided into six sections, the book covers topics such as re-imagining agriculture as central to urban landscapes, and discusses why, how, and when planning should support UA, and more broadly food systems; providing a theoretical foundation for the book including writings by early and seasoned scholars; examines civic agriculture across urban landscapes; planning responses to these efforts; exploring UA as a locus of pedagogy of equity; placing the urban agriculture movement in the US within a global context and concludes with ideas and challenges for the future. The book is useful for planning professionals who want to strengthen agriculture and food systems in their jurisdictions.
