Metcalf_Food_Solutions_Scaling_Up_Urban_Agriculture_in_Toronto

Urban agriculture in Toronto is almost invisible, mostly confined to gardening in backyards, in containers on rooftops, in community gardens, and on farms at the boundaries of the city, which produce largely for other markets. Yet the potential exists to develop urban agriculture to the point at which it supplies a sizable proportion of the city’s demand for fresh vegetables and herbs. How do we scale up urban agriculture so that it contributes to the city’s environmental,
social, and economic development and sustainability?
