Horticultural products include a large variety of vegetables, cereals, flowers, and trees. Vegetable production provides regular and high incomes to the various actors in the commodity chain and provides food to urban dwellers. Many specific techniques have been developed or adapted specifically for urban areas. If well managed, urban horticulture can play an important role in reducing socio-economic and environmental problems in cities. Urban authorities should collaborate with urban producers to strengthen the role of urban horticulture in waste recycling, community building and creating sustainable food systems.</p> Crop Production RUAF Publications Publications Mon, 10 Jul 2006 09:20:12 +0000 Femke Hoekstra 989 at http://www.ruaf.org Preface http://www.ruaf.org/node/987 <p><b>Henk de Zeeuw</b><br />Director RUAF Foundation<br /><br />In: Cities Farming for the Future - Urban Agriculture for Green and Productive Cities</p><p>Please open attached pdf-file to view the preface.</p> RUAF Publications Publications Thu, 06 Jul 2006 13:54:06 +0000 Femke Hoekstra 987 at http://www.ruaf.org Back page http://www.ruaf.org/node/986 <p>In: Cities Farming for the Future - Urban Agriculture for Green and Productive Cities</p><p /> RUAF Publications Publications Thu, 06 Jul 2006 12:51:39 +0000 Femke Hoekstra 986 at http://www.ruaf.org Publishers http://www.ruaf.org/node/985 <p>In: Cities Farming for the Future - Urban Agriculture for Green and Productive Cities</p><p /> RUAF Publications Publications Thu, 06 Jul 2006 12:50:21 +0000 Femke Hoekstra 985 at http://www.ruaf.org General Resources http://www.ruaf.org/node/984 <p>In: Cities Farming for the Future - Urban Agriculture for Green and Productive Cities</p><p /> RUAF Publications Publications Thu, 06 Jul 2006 12:50:01 +0000 Femke Hoekstra 984 at http://www.ruaf.org RUAF Partners List http://www.ruaf.org/node/983 <p>In: Cities Farming for the Future - Urban Agriculture for Green and Productive Cities</p><p /> RUAF Publications Publications Thu, 06 Jul 2006 12:47:35 +0000 Femke Hoekstra 983 at http://www.ruaf.org
