- W1024006489 abstract "Conventional agriculture produces food in ways that undermine the ecological bases onwhich it depends. It is typically grown long distances from where it is eventuallyconsumed, relying on the use of non-renewable resources, and alienating consumersfrom the processes of production. By comparison, the reintroduction of productive treesinto the urban landscape has been shown to bring residents into closer contact with theirfood needs, increase fresh food security and availability, create opportunities forinformal social mixing, and foster a sense of cooperation within community (Stocker &Barnett, 1998).This thesis describes the process of a 32-year-old male citizen (me) attempting toestablish some fruit trees on under utilised land managed by local Council. The projectis set in the suburb of New Town, an established middle class residential area within thecity of Hobart, Tasmania. The actors to emerge in this development are the proximateresidents, residents of the nearby housing commission units, Hobart City Council(HCC), a local nursery owner, an assortment of non-government organisations, and thefacilitators of other urban agriculture projects. It was found that whilst residents were largely in favour of the proposal there was littleenthusiasm towards direct participation, at least in the developmental stages. An initialsite for the trees proved contentious with one neighbour opposed to attracting'undesirables' within proximity of his property, and so an alternative location wasidentified alongside a bike track linking Hobart with the northern suburbs. First HCCwas also reluctant to become involved due to the risks associated with productive trees,the maintenance involved, and the possibility of future conflicts over the managementof the trees and the distribution of the harvest. Several of the NGOs contacted in thehope of establishing partnerships also declined the offer to participate.The eventual success of the development can be attributed to the commitment of anenthusiastic nursery owner, the advocacy of a senior arboricultural officer withinCouncil, and my persistent desire to contribute towards the sustainability and livabilityof this area. My path to the realisation of establishing a site of urban agriculture inHobart has many parallels to the experiences of similarly motivated urban agriculture facilitators who went before me. This research then, is a contribution to the broaddiscipline of environmental management as a case study of the implementation ofsustainability praxis at an individual scale." @default.
