The Urban Food Revolution Book Review
The Urban Food Revolution, Changing
the Way We Feed Cities
by
Peter Ladner
New Society Publishers, October 1, 2011, Trade
Paperback
ISBN - 13: 9780865716834; Indigo list price:
$18.95
In “The Urban Food
Revolution” former Vancouver city councillor Peter Ladner provides a
comprehensive overview of policies and practices that impede or simplify the
process of turning vacant or ornamental urban lands into productive space for
growing food and communities. Multiple case studies make this both a
fascinating read and an invaluable guide for urban food advocates. From
communities that ban anything but grass in their residents’ front yards, to new
developments constructed around planned communal gardens, Ladner effectively
charts the challenges and opportunities for urban food gardening. This book is
intended less for gardeners than for those who wish to be politically active in
their communities. However, it is highly read-able and provides so many useful
and intriguing examples that it is bound to inspire gardeners who have a sense
of community spirit.
