City Harvest home
City Harvest is an online resource which demonstrates the wide range of benefits associated with urban agriculture with the purpose of strengthening and developing the movement in the UK and across the globe.
On the site you will find a host of publications documenting the social, educational, environmental, economic and health-related impacts of urban agriculture as well as case studies which provide working examples of these benefits in action.
City Harvest is a resource for everyone interested in food growing and sustainability and aims to be particularly useful for anyone who is looking for “hard” evidence to support urban agriculture related projects.

Carrot City: designing for urban agriculture
The increasing interest in local food production within cities is changing urban design and built form. This travelling exhibition shows how the design of buildings and cities can enable the production of food in the city, and explores the relationships between urban food systems and design. Exhibitions are taking place at the Technical University in Munich (8 – 26 November 2011).
