The focus of this dissertation is on the potential for developing urban agriculture in the Welsh capital city of Cardiff.
It looks at the opportunities and obstacles facing this ambition and evaluating the potential for such a food production system to contribute to Cardiff's long term aim of becoming a 'sustainable city', while at the same time creating an enhanced level of local food security. There is also an evaluation of the broader social benefits which local food growing activities can potentially deliver.
Conclusions are reached about how a highly localised food system could function in an urban location such as Cardiff, and the contribution it could make to the social, economic and environmental life of the city. Recommendations are offered about the kind of government policies and city planning strategies which would support the development of urban agriculture in this context.
