Biography
Craig Pearson is Director of the Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute, University of Melbourne, Australia.
'A clear, concise set of contributions on the role of agriculture in a range of urban settings is presented here. The dozen chapters demonstrate the huge diversity of farming activities in cities across the world, in terms of scale, and their social, environmental and economic dimensions.... The collection calls for a reinvigorated urbanism that bridges the false divides between city and countryside, and which greens our townscapes in ways which nourish both body and spirit.'-Camilla Toulmin, Experimental Agriculture
