Local government support to urban agriculture in Quito was born as a response to food insecurity in the poorest areas of the city, and was later expanded to the entire Metropolitan District. The production technology used has been adapted to the diverse climatic zones (between 500 and 4,800 metres above sea level, see also the article in UA Magazine no. 22).

Piracicaba, a city of about 365,000 in the southeast of Brazil, has a strong agricultural tradition. Although a large area around the city is cultivated, only a small percentage is dedicated to food production. As a result Piracicaba has to import most of its food products, which increases the prices.
