Over the past two decades, how has urban agriculture changed in
sub-Saharan Africa? Is city farming now better integrated into
environmental management and city governance? And, looking ahead,
how might urban agriculture address the needs of the low-income
households and modernizing cities of Africa? In this book, leading
specialists in the fields of urban agriculture and urban
environment present a unique collection of case studies that
examines the growing role of local food production in urban
livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa. Amongst many issues, the authors
probe the changing role of urban agriculture, the risks and
benefits of crop-livestock systems, and the opportunities for
making locally produced food more easily available and more
profitable. Concluding chapters reflect on the policy and
governance implications of greater integration of urban natural
resources and the built environment, an expanded role for urban
agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa and the crucial role of women in
urban food systems. "African Urban Harvest" will be of interest to
decision-makers, development professionals, researchers, academics,
and students and educators in urban planning, development studies,
African studies, and environmental studies.
