Chapter 1. Introduction: New Forms of Urban Agriculture Embedded in Urban Re-sources—Where is the Evidence? -- Chapter 2. Managing Land: Protecting, Integrating and Allocating Agriculture in Urban Design and Planning - The Case of Luxembourg -- Chapter 3.

Land Use Models, Drivers, Institutional Arrangements and Major Dis-courses in Promotion of Urban Agriculture in India -- Chapter 6. Protecting Peri-urban Agriculture: A Perspective from the Pacific Islands -- Chapter 7. Engineering Perspective of Water Use for Urban Agriculture -- Chapter 8. Evaluating Wastewater Reuse in Urban Agriculture from a Systems Per-spective: Focus on Linkages with Water, Energy, and Health -- Chapter 9. Frontier Agriculture: Climate-smart and Water-saving Agriculture Tech-nologies for Livelihoods and Food Security. Chapter 10. Food Security Achieved Through Utilising Waste Materials in Part of Durban and Rural Surrounds, South Africa -- Chapter 11. Contextualizing Urban Agriculture in Quito, Ecuador: A Look at Urban Production and Producer Traits -- Chapter 12. Blurring the Boundaries: How an Emerging Group of Urban-integrated Farmers in Singapore are Changing the Profile of Farm Labour -- Chapter 13. Assessing Ecosystem Services and Job Opportunities in Peri-urban Agri-culture Start-up Projects -- Chapter 14. Field Work: A Mixed-methods Social Network Analysis of Urban Farmers and Hired Laborers in Four Cities -- Chapter 15. Honey Bees, Wild Bees, and Beekeepers in Chicago’s Community Gardens -- Chapter 16. The Rurban Elephant: Behavioural Ecology of Asian Elephants in Re-sponse to Large-scale Land Use Change in a Human-dominated Land-scape in Peri-urban Southern India -- Chapter 17. Role of New Forms of Urban Agriculture in Urban Biodiversity -- Chapter 18. Conclusion: The future of NFUA.

Eating locally and developing an urban-rural food continuum is a rapidly evolving movement. Integration of multi-functional forms of agriculture — termed New Forms of Urban Agriculture (NFUA) — could be a critical adaptation to strengthen this movement and for the sustainability of cities. While NFUA have the potential to provide diverse benefits to humans, there is an absence of reliable empirical data on the scale and impact of urban resources on NFUA which has a profound impact on its viability and sustainability. In this book, we shift the focus from how NFUA have potential to impact the urban system to investigate the potential impacts of urban resources on NFUA. Access to resources such as land, labour, clean water, etc. are major barriers to enter the agriculture sector in the cities; the chapters in this book present projects or reviews recent research on the subject from different cities in the world. This edited volume offers critical perspectives from diverse disciplines, expertise, and geographic contexts related to the actual and potential role of urban and peri-urban agriculture in the developing and the developed world where forms, adaptations, and debates around NFUA vary distinctively. Using and urban ecology lens, the book provides empirical evidence of how urban resources of land, water/waste, labour, and biodiversity impact NFUA.
