"This book is a solid contribution to this growing field and will be informative to those interested in the topic of urban farming, especially anybody working in public policy who intends to implement programs in their own city."- John Harner, University of Colorado-Colorado Springs (The AAG Review of Books, Spring '19) "The book supports the following idea: urban agriculture is a city planning challenge for land use and who gets to access it. A key take-away is that urban agriculture is not merely a contemporary food systems trend, but an under-developed mechanism for city sustainability. The authors conclude with helpful suggestions on how city planners and organizers might better integrate urban food production into social and environmental sustainability city planning."- Alana N.
