This paper introduces a methodology for assessing the social and economic policy implications of pollution impacts on the yield, quality and safety of urban and peri-urban crops. The approach emphasises non-market valuation of agricultural produce and the inclusion of the poor, whilst developing strategies to link the micro- and macro-level policy perspectives to influence ongoing policy debates.
