Today, urban agriculture appears to be a lever for the ecological transition of cities and a tool for education in sustainable food. Many urban development actors are setting up projects on their territories: collective gardens, eco-grazing, participative micro-farms, mushroom beds, beehives, etc. However, the implementation of this type of project raises many questions about their relevance and feasibility in the areas concerned. What are the expectations of the different actors and inhabitants? What types of project can be implemented? What surface area is necessary? How to set up a shared garden or a micro-farm? This guide proposes a methodology based on the experience of the Exp'AU research office (Expertises en agricultures urbaines, under the aegis of AgroParisTech Innovation), which since 2015 has been carrying out missions to support local actors in setting up urban agriculture projects. The proposed methodological itinerary is structured in three steps and guides the user step by step in his approach, even without specific knowledge related to this field. This book is intended for owners and managers of urban land (local authorities, landlords, developers, planners) who wish to set up urban agriculture projects, whether commercial (urban farms, eco-grazing) or non-commercial (shared gardens, chicken coops, etc).

Depuis plusieurs annees, de nouvelles formes d'agriculture urbaine se font jour en France, questionnant la recherche et ses liens a l'action. La recherche se mobilise donc pour connaitre et evaluer ce phenomene, qui interroge les relations entre urbains et leurs connexions aux espaces a la nature et a l'alimentation : fonctionnements technico-economiques de ces agricultures, specificites des sols urbains, enjeux fonciers et services ecosystemiques rendus.  Le livre s'interroge sur les formes sociales des agricultures urbaines et sur leurs places dans les systemes alimentaires des territoires. Constatant la forte appetence des collectivites, des habitants et autres acteurs de la ville pour ces agricultures, l'ouvrage presente des produits de recherches conduites avec des acteurs publics et associatifs, professionnels et operateurs economiques : plateforme collaborative, jeu serieux, logiciels d'aide a la decision, applis, observatoire participatif, methodes et guides pour l'action... Un etat des lieux des formations existantes en agriculture urbaine est propose, soulignant les defis a relever et les conditions necessaires pour developper les agricultures urbaines.. Cet ouvrage est destine aux etudiants, aux enseignants et aux chercheurs, ainsi qu'aux acteurs publics et prives de l'amenagement urbain, du developpement agricole et des politiques alimentaires.
