In: UA Magazine 16 - Formulating Effective Policies on Urban Agriculture

Urban agriculture is a dynamic concept that comprises a variety of livelihood systems, ranging from
subsistence production and processing at household level to fully commercialised agriculture. It takes place in different locations and occurs under varying sociopolitical conditions and policy regimes. This diversity of urban agriculture is one of its main attributes, as it can be adapted to a wide range of urban situations and to the needs of a diverse range of stakeholders.
