Abstract: Awareness of peri-urban farmland multi-functionality and social concern for food security have prompted public action for the preservation of farmland around cities. A growing literature on peri-urban farming characterises its dynamics and quantifies urban pressure and farmland consumption by urban sprawl. However, such research requires expensive surveys and comprehensive databases that are usually inaccessible to planners and public-policy analysts.
