The Urban Agriculture Consortium (UAC) is a pioneering collaboration promoting and enabling the up-scaling of nature-friendly urban & peri-urban agroecology across the UK in direct response to the climate and ecological emergencies. UAC is working to influence practice & policy by developing a community of good practice with a range of pathfinding local and regional food partnerships, local authorities, practitioners, academics and others. We aim to influence & amplify policy level support for agroecological urban farming. UAC was launched in 2020 following several rounds of in-depth consultations with partners and other stakeholders across the UK.
