Uneven Recognition: Community Gardens or Allotments?
Introduction Over the last 7 years, I had the chance to study a wide range of Urban Agriculture initiatives in and around London, and in this paper, I will elaborate on one of the main empirical findings of this PhD research, namely, the prioritisation of the community garden trajectory over the allotment trajectory by London policymakers and planners and what this means for the future of Urban Agriculture (UA) in London. Conversations with practitioners, scholars, and activists in the field and a detailed review of planning and public policy documents referring to UA in London reveal how the allotment trajectory has been sidelined in comparison with the community gardening trajectory in London. This paper will discuss what this means in terms of land distribution for UA, the establishment of democratic food governance, and the resistance to neo-liberal urban development in the context of a corporate environment Food Regime.
