Published with IDRCThis volume, by some of the world's leading
experts on urban agriculture, examines concrete strategies to
integrate city farming into the urban landscape. Drawing on
original field work in cities across the rapidly urbanizing global
south, the book examines the contribution of urban agriculture and
city farming to livelihoods and food security. Case studies cover
food production diversification for robust and secure food
provision; the socio-economic and agronomic aspects of urban
composting; urban agriculture as a viable livelihood strategy;
strategies for integrating city farming into urban landscapes; and
the complex social-ecological networks of urban agriculture. Other
case studies look at public health aspects including the impact of
pesticides, micro-biological risks, pollution and water
contamination on food production and people. Ultimately the book
calls on city farmers, politicians, environmentalists and
regulatory bodies to work together to improve the long term
sustainability of urban farming as a major, secure source of food
and employment for urban populations.
