'The focus of the study was to explore models of urban agriculture that could generate livelihood opportunities, especially for young people; and/or enhance food security for vulnerable and low-income groups. The study involved visits to over 80 organizations and institutions across the regions visited, and interviews with more than 150 people.'

The entire report can be downloaded at: http://www.nick-rose.com/churchill-fellowship-report/ and those of us who are interested in the subject and/or want to promote it in our own locales can get some valuable information from it.
