Produktbeschreibung

This book synthesizes interdisciplinary approaches in urban agroecology in the sciences, encompassing how urban agroecologists measure flora and fauna, how people manage and benefit from these systems, and how the sociopolitical landscape shapes the socioecological dynamics within them.

Autorenporträt

Monika Egerer is a tenure-track professor in Urban Productive Ecosystems in the School of Life Sciences at the Technical University of Munich. Her research investigates relationships between biodiversity conservation, ecosystem service provision, and human wellbeing in urban agroecosystems. Her work aims to bridge theory and practice to create productive systems in cities that offer food, habitat and community. Hamutahl Cohen is a postdoctoral researcher in Entomology at the University of California, Riverside. Her research investigates drivers of insect declines in changing urban landscapes and the subsequent impacts to ecosystem services in farms and gardens. She leverages natural ecology and molecular and microbial methodologies to address questions of applied significance for promoting food security.
