Even-though urban agriculture has been historically labelled as an
illegal activity; current evidence shows that it is now commonly
practiced by many poor households in developing countries. There is
growing evidence that most countries are gradually seeing the value
of urban agriculture among poor households and they are beginning
to realize the importance of incorporating it in their urban policy
package. Despite this recognition and acceptance of urban
agriculture as a food security strategy among the urban poor,
little attention is paid to urban agriculture vis- -vis urban
planning. Researchers have pointed that official views often put
more emphasis on environmental and health risks of urban
agriculture in violation of town planning zoning rather than on the
role of improving food security amongst the poor. This has put a
very narrow focus of town planning on the practice of urban
agriculture. This book investigates the responsiveness of the town
planning system to the challenges of urban agriculture in Kwa-Mashu
Township in South Africa, it concludes by suggestion
recommendations.
