Since 2020 we have been building relationships, sharing ideas and developing collaborations with some of the most interesting and inspiring people and organisations working in the field of urban and peri-urban agroecology (we call this UA+ for short).
We invite you to dive into this guiding report and find out – from the thought leaders and practitioners themselves – what these initiatives are all about, and what the next steps are for you to explore introducing them in your area.

A huge thank you to Freya Freeman-Taylor for her amazing illustration and design www.freyaft.com
This report is also a call out to funders to invest in these initiatives; to resource them, develop them, test them in place, upscale, embed, adapt and deliver them.
They work individually, but even better is to implement them together, integrated and complementary, generating and amplifying value for each other and for the whole system.
Please contact maddy@urbanagriculture.org.uk with your questions and suggestions, to be put in touch with any of the contributing organisations, and to discuss collaborative partnerships. We’ll take this one step at a time so we encourage you to follow your curiosity, your desire for change and your instinct and see where it takes you. We look forward to hearing from you!
