Book excerpt: This text addresses the phenomenon of urban agriculture in Zimbabwe. While it acknowledges that the activity is a significant source of food and income for the urban poor, the text draws attention to development conflicts raised by the activity. It attempts to place urban agriculture within the context of urban economy, the environment, institutional concerns, gender and urban poverty. Based on ongoing research the text demonstrates that there is a potential for urban agriculture as part of the urban economy, but that the urban poor are not beneficiaries of the activity.

Book Synopsis The contribution of urban agriculture in boosting food security and income generation by : Charles Mutshakambi
Download or read book The contribution of urban agriculture in boosting food security and income generation written by Charles Mutshakambi and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-12-02 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Physical Geography, Geomorphology, Environmental Studies, grade: 5.0, Midlands State University, course: Geography and Environmental Studies, language: English, abstract: This study highlights the extent to which urban agriculture (UA) enhances food security and income generation in Ward 21 of Bulawayo in Zimbabwe against the challenges faced by the local residents where very little researches have been conducted and the data is still scarce. The expectation of this research is to benefit every stakeholder concerned about reducing food insecurity through the implementation of various urban agricultural activities. This is due to the fact that the study sought to give detailed information about the several agricultural activities in urban areas and how they help in improving the food security status and income generation to urban dwellers. Therefore all the stakeholders initiating programs mainly to reduce vulnerability of urban residence for instance NGO’s require the information in determining the types of projects to execute in those areas. UA has increasingly become a popular practice and is widely perceived to be the panacea to urban livelihood challenges. Urban households have been affected by high costs of basic food staffs and high levels of unemployment in Zimbabwe. The closure of industries and the economic meltdown from year 2000 to date has left many people jobless and with less disposable incomes in most parts of Zimbabwe. The residents of Ward 21 in Bulawayo have not been spared from these challenges of unemployment and food insecurity. According to World Bank (2015), most of the workers in Zimbabwe have salaries which fall below the poverty datum line and this has severe impacts to the workers in achieving food security. Poverty has impoverished most households in ward 21 which has left some households only having one meal a days. More so, the situation is further exacerbated by the retrenchment of workers by major companies in Bulawayo such as, Delta Beverages, Monarch and NRZ. These challenges have been further aggravated by the massive exodus of people from rural areas into urban areas .Hence given the above, achieving food security has become a problematic issue for the people residing in Ward 21.

Book Synopsis Environmental Resilience by : Percy Toriro
Download or read book Environmental Resilience written by Percy Toriro and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-21 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the production, distribution, regulatory and management frameworks that affect food in urban settings. It plugs a gap in knowledge especially in the sub-Saharan Africa region where food, despite its critical importance, has been ignored as a ‘determinant of success’ in the planning and management of cities and towns. The various chapters in the book demonstrate how urban populations in Zimbabwe and elsewhere have often devised ways to produce own food to supplement on their incomes. Food is produced largely by way of urban agriculture or imported from the countryside and sold in both formal and informal stores and stalls. The book shows how in spite of the important space food occupies in the lives of all city residents, the planning and regulatory framework does not facilitate the better performance of food systems.
Book Synopsis Global Urban Agriculture by : Antoinette M G A WinklerPrins
Download or read book Global Urban Agriculture written by Antoinette M G A WinklerPrins and published by CABI. This book was released on 2017-05-24 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been growing attention paid to urban agriculture worldwide because of its role in making cities more environmentaly sustainable while also contributing to enhanced food access and social justice. This edited volume brings together current research and case studies concerning urban agriculture from both the Global North and the Global South. Its objective is to help bridge the long-standing divide between discussion of urban agriculture in the Global North and the Global South and to demonstrate that today there are greater areas of overlap than there are differences both theoretically and substantively, and that research in either area can help inform research in the other. The book covers the nature of urban agriculture and how it supports livelihoods, provides ecosystem services, and community development. It also considers urban agriculture and social capital, networks, and agro-biodiversity conservation. Concepts such as sustainability, resilience, adaptation and community, and the value of urban agriculture as a recreational resource are explored. It also examines, quite fundamentally, why people farm in the city and how urban agriculture can contribute to more sustainable cities in both the Global North and the Global South.

Book Synopsis An Alternative Food Security Strategy by : Moses Makwanise
Download or read book An Alternative Food Security Strategy written by Moses Makwanise and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines issues in informal urban farming and proposes recommendations for sustainable urban agriculture. The growing and keeping of small livestock in municipal and undeveloped urban open spaces is becoming an important source of food security and supplementary income to poor urban residents. This has been exacerbated by the deteriorating economic conditions and rapid urbanisation. Although residents are having many benefits and farming has become widespread, urban authorities are reluctant to consider it as a legitimate urban activity. Those involved in urban farming contend that it provides opportunities for households to improve their food security and supplement incomes. On the other hand city authorities view it as having negative health and environmental impacts. This has resulted in a direct clash between residents and city authorities.

Book Synopsis Agriculture in Urban Planning by : Mark Redwood
Download or read book Agriculture in Urban Planning written by Mark Redwood and published by Earthscan. This book was released on 2012 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, by graduate researchers working in urban agriculture, examines concrete strategies to integrate city farming into the urban landscape. Drawing on original field work in cities across the rapidly urbanizing global south, the book examines the contribution of urban agriculture and city farming to livelihoods and food security. Case studies cover food production diversification for robust and secure food provision; the socio-economic and agronomic aspects of urban composting; urban agriculture as a viable livelihood strategy; strategies for integrating city farming into urban landscapes; and the complex social-ecological networks of urban agriculture. Other case studies look at public health aspects including the impact of pesticides, micro-biological risks, pollution and water contamination on food production and people. Ultimately the book calls on city farmers, politicians, environmentalists and regulatory bodies to work together to improve the long term sustainability of urban farming as a major, secure source of food and employment for urban populations.

Book Synopsis Growing a Sustainable City? by : Christina D. Rosan
Download or read book Growing a Sustainable City? written by Christina D. Rosan and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban agriculture offers promising solutions to many different urban problems, such as blighted vacant lots, food insecurity, storm water runoff, and unemployment. These objectives connect to many cities' broader goal of "sustainability," but tensions among stakeholders have started to emerge in cities as urban agriculture is incorporated into the policymaking framework. Growing a Sustainable City? offers a critical analysis of the development of urban agriculture policies and their role in making post-industrial cities more sustainable. Christina Rosan and Hamil Pearsall's intriguing and illuminating case study of Philadelphia reveals how growing in the city has become a symbol of urban economic revitalization, sustainability, and - increasingly - gentrification. Their comprehensive research includes interviews with urban farmers, gardeners, and city officials, and reveals that the transition to "sustainability" is marked by a series of tensions along race, class, and generational lines. The book evaluates the role of urban agriculture in sustainability planning and policy by placing it within the context of a large city struggling to manage competing sustainability objectives. They highlight the challenges and opportunities of institutionalizing urban agriculture into formal city policy. Rosan and Pearsall tell the story of change and growing pains as a city attempts to reinvent itself as sustainable, livable, and economically competitive.
