In: UA Magazine 8 - Wastewater Reuse in Urban Agriculture

Urban farming - particularly in the form of market gardening (1) - has become part of the environment in African cities. This study focuses on the issue of health. By reusing wastewater and/or polluted water, urban market gardening constitutes a potential health risk for both producers and consumers. The issue here is to know whether market gardeners perceive the use of wastewater as risky, particularly with respect to health.
