Kano, the largest city in Northern Nigeria, has long served as an important market for resources produced in its periurban zone. In particular, urban farming is widespread in Kano and is tolerated as an important response to the economic and social conditions faced by many poor individuals. Previous studies in the region have concluded that urban farms make very significant contributions to city nutrition, household food security, employment and environment.

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

Home gardening is usually seen as a subsistence-oriented production system. However, in urban and suburban areas land is a precious
resource, which is why home gardening can be turned into a profitable production system. In this context the concept of the Family Business Garden was launched on World Environment Day 2000 in Sri Lanka.
