In: UA Magazine No. 11 - Availability, Access and Usability of Land for Urban Agriculture

An increasing number of cities and countries are interested to include urban agriculture in their strategies and programmes to reduce urban poverty and enhance urban food security. In order to facilitate that process, from 3 - 26 of November 2003, the Urban Management Programme (UNDP / UN-Habitat), and ETC-RUAF organised an electronic conference on the optimisation of access of the urban poor to land for agricultural activities.
