The Edible Map Will also be exhibited in Göteborg, Sweden. June 3rd and end at june 26th

The exhibition is a collaboration between the municipality of Gothenburg, represented by the Göteborg CityMuseum and ULG (Urban Laboratory Göteborg) on the subject of urban agriculture. There will be one traditional display of information and pictures from global cases. There will also be a past-present-future theme of local situation, concerning agriculture, in Gothenburg. The other part will be a physical garden, outside the museum with vegetables in the street in order to make it visible.

Introduction

I've set up this site after a recent visit to CAT in Wales, where I was presenting my research to Architecture Diploma students and tutoring. Simon Tucker, one of the tutors at CAT, mentioned that he knew of someone who also doing doing research into food growing. It struck me that there are probably many other research and practitioners out there. For the sake of not doubling up on research work, I thought it would be good to collect together researchers that I already know and for each researcher to add a quick note about there area of work. This blog need not be update very regularly, but an initial presence on the site would make it easy for cross research communication.

I will certainly be happy to push for the odd addition to the blog by those listed (twice a year!?). This might be related to research questions, exhibitions or calls for papers.
