"This thesis investigates urban agriculture on a domestic and community level. It is apparent today that within the last decade small-scale urban agricultural methods in a British urban context are becoming ever more popular, providing not only food but other incentives and benefits.
This thesis will focus on small-scale techniques exploring the options available to people and communities alike. Although the emphasis will be on how Britain can adopt urban agriculture, an insight into places around the world, for example Cuba, will be explored to understand the past and existing attitudes towards urban agriculture.
As global concerns relating to resources and prices become noticeable throughout the UK and the rest of the world, this topical issue of small-scale urban agricultural processes could open up opportunities across multiple sectors of the British population."
