Author Description

Urban agroforestry sub types are reviewed and the nature of current literature is described. Definitions for key concepts are clarified and steps in the design process are explained with a focus on dimensions of resilience and measures of effectiveness in the context of climate change resilience and biodiversity restoration. Two UK-based urban agroforestry case studies are outlined to give some answers to the key driving questions for ongoing research: (1) What would the system look like if we want to feed the most people per unit area? and (2) How can we use the land for maximum benefit forever?
