Picture of the roofgarden at Blågård School by DYRK Nørrebro DYRK Nørrebro | an urban agricultural initiative in Copenhagen, Denmark Urban agriculture, or agriculture in the city, is an ‘umbrella term’ that covers activities related to production of food in or on the outskirts of cities. A definition used by UN, UN-Habitat, FAO and other important international research institutions explains it as following: “Urban agriculture is an industry located within (intra-urban) or on the fringe (peri-urban) of a town, a city or a metropolis, which grows and raises, processes and distributes a diversity of food and non-food products, (re-)using largely human and material resources, products and services found in and around that urban area, and in turn supplying human and material resources, products and services largely to that urban area.”
(Luc J.A. Mougeot Growing Cities, Growing Food) The most interesting thing about agriculture in the city is that it is integrated into the city’s own system. Urban Agriculture — Mad i Byen. Scandinavian Green Roof. Brooklyn Grange. New Stories From 'Urban Agriculture Notes'.
