Abstract

In an era of global urban food crises and rapid, unplanned city growth, how can urban agriculture be transformed from a potential source of health risks into a vehicle for healthier urban households and local environments? Embedded in the specific policy context of Kampala, Uganda, but relevant to the rest of Africa and beyond, this book provides research and evidence to guide policy about the health risks and benefits associated with urban farming.

Abstract

Sinan Koont has spent the last several years researching urban agriculture in Cuba, including field work at many sustainable farms on the island. He tells the story of why and how Cuba was able to turn to urban food production on a large scale with minimal use of chemicals, petroleum, and machinery, and of the successes it achieved--along with the continuing difficulties it still faces in reducing its need for food imports--

Abstract

Depuis plusieurs annees, de nouvelles formes d'agriculture urbaine se font jour en France, questionnant la recherche et ses liens a l'action. La recherche se mobilise donc pour connaitre et evaluer ce phenomene, qui interroge les relations entre urbains et leurs connexions aux espaces a la nature et a l'alimentation : fonctionnements technico-economiques de ces agricultures, specificites des sols urbains, enjeux fonciers et services ecosystemiques rendus.  Le livre s'interroge sur les formes sociales des agricultures urbaines et sur leurs places dans les systemes alimentaires des territoires. Constatant la forte appetence des collectivites, des habitants et autres acteurs de la ville pour ces agricultures, l'ouvrage presente des produits de recherches conduites avec des acteurs publics et associatifs, professionnels et operateurs economiques : plateforme collaborative, jeu serieux, logiciels d'aide a la decision, applis, observatoire participatif, methodes et guides pour l'action... Un etat des lieux des formations existantes en agriculture urbaine est propose, soulignant les defis a relever et les conditions necessaires pour developper les agricultures urbaines.. Cet ouvrage est destine aux etudiants, aux enseignants et aux chercheurs, ainsi qu'aux acteurs publics et prives de l'amenagement urbain, du developpement agricole et des politiques alimentaires.

Abstract

La Organización de las Naciones Unidas predice que en los próximos 25 años casi todo el crecimiento poblacional tendrá lugar en las ciudades del mundo en desarrollo. Al ritmo actual, se espera que para el año 2030 un 60% del total de la población mundial viva en ciudades, crecimiento que viene aparejado con el aumento de los pobres en la ciudad y por ende el desempleo, el hambre y la desnutrición. El escaso dinero que los pobres logren traer a casa será para comprar comida y mantenerse vivos. Cualquier alimento que puedan obtener gratis es beneficio extra, por eso que cada vez hay más personas
