Sustainable food production in the modern zoo and its wider role in a time of global change

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract

The potential to produce more food close to its centre of consumption within the zoo has been explored through the worlds first production vertical farm. Hosted at Paignton Zoo in Devon this production unit grows fresh leafy salad crops for zoo animals and for the visitor catering outlets with a much reduced footprint - as measured in joules per kg of fresh produce. This article explores the role of this production prototype not only for zoos but also for wider production of some fresh produce as part of a wider localised food system, distinct from the globally financed food system.
