I'm interested in research into the viability of sustainable urban farming (including animal husbandry and alternative proteins) to increase resilience and security of food supplies.

Post-Covid, working practices have changed with more people working from home, resulting in a lower demand for office space. There is also a move towards a four-day working week. These changes have implications for inner city property owners/managers, who may welcome a new client pool; like urban farmers/food producers.

  • Is such a movement viable?
  • Is it already happening
  • Would the marketplace accept urban grown food
  • What is needed to stimulate and grow the sector
  • What are the advantages/disadvantages for:
  • a. Consumers
  • b. Property owners
  • c. the environment
  • d. Society
  • e. The economy

Any pointers on any aspect of this would be most welcome.
