Afrika-Studiecentrum Series ;7Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph90-04-15202-4 Includes bibliographical references and index.Urban agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa has gained momentum in recent years in terms of research and policy, as well as in practical terms. The paradox of accelerated urbanisation and the increase in urban agriculture in developing countries is widely recognised. More than ever before, urban residents all over the developing world are cultivating urban plots and/or keeping animals to sustain their livelihoods. This volume looks at urban farming in the Kenyan town of Nakuru and is based on surveys and in-depth studies carried out by various researchers, including Kenyan Masters students. It considers farming techniques, the socio-economic aspects of urban farming and the environmental issues involved, and there is also a chapter on school farming. Specific attention is paid to urban farming in relation to poverty, with the conclusion being that those who depend on urban agriculture the most are, in fact, benefiting the least from it.Afrika-Studiecentrum Series ;7.Urban Farming in an East-African TownUrban agricultureKenyaNakuruUrban agricultureElectronic books.Urban agricultureUrban agriculture.630.9173/2Foeken Dick1075124NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910451348903321To Subsidise My Income2584064UNINA
