This report draws on discussions with many peri-urban vegetable growers in Sydney and Adelaide, as well as planners. The consultation focussed on the identification of issues affecting peri-urban intensive horticulture and methods to address these issues, but also identified many areas of synergy, where both growers and residents benefited from being in close proximity. Importantly, the report also identifies many other challenges and opportunities that apply to periurban growers and other stakeholders.
