Urbanag believe that the coordination and spread of urban agriculture schemes can address a number of critical issues for contemporary society in developed economies. Among them are: food security, economic and social development, climate change mitigation, and diet and health. While urban agriculture schemes proliferate, there is a general lack of strategic direction to these schemes that would e
nhance their sustainability and benefits. Although volunteering and project funding are critical to the launch stage of any urban agriculture scheme, without addressing the issues of job creation and revenue generation, such schemes are likely to fail. Urbanag sees its role as promoting structures and strategies to assist the processes of job creation and revenue generation through developing organisational capacity, partnerships and alliances among food producers and between producers and the market. Urbanag act as consultants, project managers and capacity builders, promoting sustainable and economically viable urban agriculture projects.
