dc.description.abstractThe book’s focus is the role of urban agriculture, and opportunities for making locally produced food more available and more profitable. Book 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. Through research conducted in Cameroon, Kenya and Uganda, the authors detail the dynamics of urban and peri-urban agriculture through three complementary lenses: livelihoods, health, and policies/institutions. In-depth case studies of multi-disciplinary and multi-agency platforms in Kampala and Nairobi point to ways forward.en
