Book synopsis

How much does urban agriculture help feed and support the billions of people living in the world's towns and cities? How could it do this better? Crop cultivation and livestock raising have long histories in urban Africa, as in other urban areas of the world, but broad awareness among researchers and policy makers of either the history or the contemporary facts of life in African urban development is much more recent. With a majority of the continent s population expected to be classified as urban in about 20 years, and its urban population spending as much as 80 percent of their household budgets on food, this book seeks to answer the two timely questions above with evidence and practical proposals for technical interventions and policy support based on studies conducted in Eastern and Central Africa, suggesting implications for practice, policy, and further research throughout the developing world.
