The project was comprised of workshops and conferences which aimed to raise public awareness of the unique attributes in British Columbia's Lower Mainland for increased local food production, moving the region closer to a food security plan, starting a public dialogue about how the Agricultural Land Reserve can be used to produce more local food, breaking open new thinking around development at the urban edge and encouraging developers and landowners to experiment with new forms of development that have local food production as a central component. Developed through this project, The Urban Food Revolution: Changing the Way We Feed Cities was published by Peter Ladner and New Society Publishers in October 2011.
