Urban Farming

Description

This inspirational book looks at those who rebel against the industrialisation of the world and undertake urban farming projects. From New York to Berlin to Amsterdam, this book contains many stunning photographs and looks at the importance of these city gardens as food sources and social meeting places.

Hans Clauzing grew up in Voorburg, the Netherlands, with an interest in photography and nature. He went to the forestry technical school with the idea of becoming a forester. But his interests changed and Hans came into contact with the floriculture sector. He studied floriculture and trees for three years after which he trained as a teacher of biology and home economics. In 1995 he took the plunge and decided to combine his hobbies, photography and gardens, into his work. Meanwhile Hans writes and takes photographs for various international gardening magazines. Nuno Clauzing (Gouda, 1995) studied Tourism after his secondary education. Ever since he was a child, he has had a passion for travelling and photography, just like his father. In 2014 Nuno started his own company, Nuno Clauzing Photography. Nuno is strongly attracted by The United States of America and captured New York for this book. The past few years he has travelled through America a number of times and has enjoyed its diversity, the skylines of its cities and its beautiful nature.
