FAO: Framework for the Urban Food Agenda
Leveraging sub-national and local government action to ensure sustainable food systems and improved nutrition
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Rome, 2019
Excerpt:
Under this approach, FAO will also work to ensure that urban and peri-urban agriculture are not undermined on the grounds of low productivity or low yield volumes, helping
to recognize their full range of benefits. In particular, urban agriculture is an activity that creates social cohesion, re-connects people and places with nature and catalyzes the attention of policy-makers, thereby facilitating a shift away from sectoral actions and towards more systemic approaches.
Peri-urban agriculture, for its part, provides important development opportunities, especially in relation to productive landscaping, inclusive value chains, environmentally-friendly approaches such as agroecology and the engagement of communities through social farming.
