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. 517 3 $aAgriculture in the cities of Cameroon, Kenya and Uganda 606 $aUrban agriculture$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aFood supply$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 615 0$aUrban agriculture 615 0$aFood supply 676 $a363.87096091732 701 $aPrain$b Gordon$01753145 701 $aLee-Smith$b Diana$01753146 701 $aKaranja$b Nancy$01753147 712 02$aInternational Development Research Centre (Canada) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910141048003321 996 $aAfrican urban harvest$94188743 997 $aUNINA
