We invite you to make a contribution to a new book
Background and Purpose of the Book
The absence of reliable empirical data on the scale and impact of UA on urban resources is a serious gap in our understanding of the viability and sustainability of UA and may also explain urban planner’s reluctance to embrace the concept. The conception of UA as being necessarily integrated in urban systems has sparked attention from researchers for the multifunctionality and post-productive attitude of New Forms of Urban Agriculture (NFUA). The current volume intends to discuss the critical perspectives related to the actual and potential role of urban and peri urban agriculture in the developing and the developed world, where forms, adaptations, and debates around UA vary distinctively. See attached abstract for more detail.
Invitation for Chapters
The primary purpose of the book is to provide new empirical evidence evaluating, investigating and exploring urban agriculture using the perspective of urban ecology divided into five categories: land, water, waste, labor, and fauna.
An abstract of 150-200 words is due 31-October-2019. Approved contributors are expected to submit a full manuscript by 15-December-2019. Please send abstracts or any questions to akijac@nus.edu.sg.
Please feel free to recommend other contributors! Additional material and guidance is available on request. Warm regards and thanks.
