prepared for the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (ACP-EU) (CTA) by ETC Ecoculture. July 1998.

CTA and ETC have produced this Resource Guide in order to respond to the present lack of access
of local practitioners to relevant information and expertise on urban agriculture. This guide provides
information on a large number of organisations and resource persons with expertise of relevance to
local stakeholders intending to formulate and implement policies and action programmes on urban
and peri-urban agriculture.
We hope that this publication will sharpen thinking on these issues and accelerate the integration of
urban agriculture into national food security strategies and urban regulations, policies and plans.
