My action research project explored how urban agroecology can be evolved with deep democracy through working with colleagues at a community food hub and an agroecology workers cooperative in London, UK. Engaging with 67 participants through 8 participatory and qualitative research methods, the research explored how organisational structures, business models, and community-led policy can support the generation of equitable and just food systems in a city-region.
