Background information

This video on Urban Agriculture has been produced to facilitate a greater understanding of urban agriculture among policy-makers, urban planners, NGOs, sectoral organisations and other people who can make a contribution to the integration of urban agriculture into urban policies, plans and development programmes.

The video has been produced by ETC RUAF in 2001 and has been co-financed by SIDA. The video is in English, but is also available in French, Spanish and Arabic. Please contact ruaf@etcnl.nl for copies of the video in other languages. Please click on the images below to start the English video-clips.

Part 1-6 of the video (approximately 23 minutes) are of special interest for an audience less familiar with the subject matter and that requires an introduction to it. This part of the video shows the different forms of urban agriculture that can be encountered and the type of people involved in it. It also shows the potential contribution of urban agriculture to enhancing urban food security, local economic development and poverty alleviation, to sustainable urban environmental management, as well as illuminating the possible health and environmental risks associated with agriculture in the city.

Part 7-10 of the video (approximately 22 minutes) are titled “From awareness to action" and presents two examples - one in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and the other in Cuenca, Ecuador - of local processes of situation analysis, policy development, planning and action regarding urban agriculture.
