In: UA Magazine no. 19 - Stimulating Innovation in Urban Agriculture

Micro-gardening is an innovative response by farmers to urban constraints, but also to urban demands with respect to the quality of products. The urban context in that sense is conducive to technological innovation because of the numerous developments and interactions which take place.

Alliances Between Farmers and Other Actors in Dakar

Femke Hoekstra — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 14:02:18 +0000

Awa BA

In: UA Magazine 17 - Strengthening Urban Producers' Organisations

Urban farmers produce crops within and around cities (Mougeot, 2000). They do not form a separate group from the urban population, nor do they live self-sufficiently. They maintain diverse relations with other actors in the city. Some of these relations go beyond the sale of agricultural or non-agricultural produce and become strategies and alliances among socio-economic and political actors.
