A documentary about the worldwide destruction of food. Why do we throw away so much? And how can we stop this kind of waste? Film by Valentin Thurn

Please find below a series of nine guidelines on different urban agriculture themes. The series is available on the Web sites of the Urban Management Program (www.pgualc.org) and IDRC (www.idrc.ca). This work was coordinated and financed by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), of Canada, the Urban Management Program for Latin America and the Caribbean (PGU-ALC/UN-HABITAT) in Ecuador, and IPES, Promotion of Sustainable Development, Peru.

This is a series of 5 Policy Briefs produced under the EU funded PAPUSSA (Production in Aquatic Peri-urban Systems in Southeast Asia) project, a collaborative reserach project of European organisations and Asian partners in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, Phnom Penh in Cambodia, and Bangkok in Thailand (www.papussa.org). Elaboration: Marielle Dubbeling, ETC Urban Agriculture (m.dubbeling@etcnl.nl); language editing: William Lesschen; Graphic design: Zonacuario, Quito, Ecuador.
