Farming on the Fringe

More about the book

Focusing on the often-overlooked perspectives of small-scale farmers in Sydney's urban fringe, the book highlights their vital contributions to local food production and employment, as well as their role in enhancing environmental sustainability. It addresses the pressing threat of urban development encroaching on farmland and advocates for a balanced approach to urban growth that considers both housing needs and agricultural viability. By integrating the impacts of environmental change and global demographics, it calls for the inclusion of these farmers' voices in discussions about future urban food sustainability.
