On Friday, October 30, Andres Duany, a founding principal at Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company, spoke about agricultural urbanism as part of Houston Tomorrow's Distinguished Speaker Series.
Agricultural urbanism, Duany explained, is different from urban agriculture. Agricultural urbanism creates a walkable urban form surrounded by large-scale food production, while urban agriculture simply refers to growing food in empty lots or backyards.

I did see the entire presentation. The Southlands project in Canada was turned down by the Delta municipal council - they did not approve the rezoning. In this presentation it is made to sound as if it happened already. In BC there is province wide zoning to protect agriculture and these projects are just another way to develop farmland.

@firhillfarm It's plainly obvious you didn't see the entire presentation. He adresses what you have described.

The concept of agricultural urbanism sounds good to urban people, but to me it sounds like a scheme to erode farmland further - it is not "urban agriculture" that would use empty space in cities for food production; instead, it would take good farmland and develop it into housing with an "agricultural component" that as Andres Duany has said, will be farmed by imported labor for the people who live in the developments - they won't farm it themselves.
