Urban Agriculture (UA) is a highly dynamic phenomenon, which is evolving constantly through space and time. Whilst previous typologies emphasised the distinctions between urban gardening and urban farming, the increasingly complex nature of the discipline has meant that these typologies no longer reflect the full diversity of Urban Agriculture. The typology presented here reflects a multidimensional approach for describingand classifying UA projects and is based upon a robust body of empirical data. It can be considered as the foundation for the work of the European Forum on Urban Agriculture (EFUA), which is a 4-year project funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme.
