Title of paper: The Elephant and the Castle; towards a London Edible Landscape

In: Urban Agriculture Magazine no 22. Building Resilient Cities pp. 37-38 June 2009

Abstract: Many urban agriculture and food-growing projects are currently being adopted by government and regional organisations within the UK1, which seek to reconnect people to a sense of place through food-growing. However, authorities seem to have no clear and concise record of the volume of open public space and therefore grossly underestimate the potential of agriculture in the city.
