Excellent magazine from Cities on Farming in the City, a project currently being exhibited at Arcam in Amsterdam! You can get more info on the project in their introductory video here.  I checked it out when I was there…well worth the visit!  They have some great infographics and case studies!

The magazine features a cross section of community led, policy led and design led urban agriculture projects.
