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. 410 0$aAfrika-Studiecentrum Series ;$v7. 517 3 $aUrban Farming in an East-African Town 606 $aUrban agriculture$zKenya$zNakuru 606 $aUrban agriculture 615 0$aUrban agriculture 615 0$aUrban agriculture. 676 $a630.9173/2 700 $aFoeken$b Dick$01547996 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777021803321 996 $aTo Subsidise My Income$93804703 997 $aUNINA
