“…However, PFP as a horticultural activity has been increasing and is becoming the main income-generating activity. This trend has not popularly appeared in affected communes by ALAFU around the country, but has been mentioned in some recent studies about urban agricultural development [23,67]. The previous studies have generally concluded that ALAFU leads to a reduction in agricultural production.…”

“…As in other developing countries, PUA in Vietnam contributes to and diversifies household income, reduces economic risk, ensures food security, and generates job opportunities for family laborers who cannot find new off-farm jobs in the labor market after ALAFU [9,21,22]. In other aspects, PUA plays a significant role in the maintenance of traditional community relationships and the environment [23].…”

Impacts of Agricultural Land Acquisition for Urbanization on Agricultural Activities of Affected Households: A Case Study in Huong Thuy Town, Thua Thien Hue Province, Vietnam

Agricultural land acquisition for urbanization (ALAFU) has strongly impacted agriculture in Vietnam during the last decades. Given the mixed data obtained from a survey with 50 households who lost 50% of their farmland area (in-depth interviews, a group-focused discussion and observation) this study shows the different impacts of ALAFU on each agricultural activity of affected household by comparing before and after ALAFU. Rice cultivation and animal breeding have sharply declined, but potted flower plantation (PFP) has quickly grown and is the main income of 34% of surveyed households. Rice cultivation has declined not only as a result of agricultural land acquisition, which has resulted in the loss of rice land, but also as a result of urbanization, which has resulted in rice land abandonment. Conversely, PFP is growing due to advantages associated with urbanization, such as a good consumer market and upgraded infrastructure. However, whether they are declining or increasing, all agricultural activities have to face challenges related to the shortcomings in agricultural land allocation and agricultural development plans. This study suggests that if ALAFU projects are continued, the government should evaluate agricultural development and forecast farmland abandonment after ALAFU. Simultaneously, they should put more effort into maintaining agriculture in the form of peri-urban or urban agriculture, which is significant for sustainable development in affected communities.

“…These farms emerge within the "transition area" between urban and rural environments, characterized by lower population density with lesser infrastructures and buildings, whilst concurrently featuring a more limited land availability for agriculture use as compared to rural areas (Allen, 2003;Piorr et al, 2011). In extensive periurban farms, multifunctionality at the farm level appears, with farms providing not only agricultural goods and food, but also services to the community as well as public functionalities (Le and Dung, 2018). Representative case studies of periurban farms are found within metropolitan areas in several cities of the Global North.…”

“…Urbanization and development not prioritizing agriculture (Ives & Kendal, 2013) approach have resulted decreasing fertile agricultural land around the valley as well (Dahal et al, 2020). Furthermore, the multifunctionality of PUA still lacks recognition in the urban planning approaches and development strategies (Cocklin et al, 2006;Phuong & Nguyen, 2018;Rana & Marwasta, 2015;Rana et al, 2017). The role of PUA and its farmers in sustainable urban development (Artmann & Sartison, 2018;Blay-Palmer et al, 2018;Duzi et al, 2017;Specht et al, 2013) is still a big dilemma when trying to compete with other nonagricultural activities and similar in Kathmandu Valley (Thapa & Murayama, 2012).…”

Peri-urban agriculture PUA is the agriculture practices taking place in the urban/ peri-urban areas, working dynamically to provide food at short supply chain empowering, dependable vegetable supply, jobs, etc. This paper investigated the Kathmandu Valley’s case in Nepal using peri-urban farmers as the key informants growing perishable vegetables in the three adjoining districts and the key reasons behind the permanence of PUA and the strategic approaches peri-urban farmers have adopted in the changing urban context of the Kathmandu Valley. The case-study research method was used as a methodological tool to investigate the transitions of the peri-urban farmers of the Kathmandu Valley in the contemporary bounded scenarios. Peri-urban farmers of the Kathmandu Valley were interviewed with open-ended questionnaires. Results showed a changing land use pattern of the Valley among the peri-urban farmers. This study identified an interesting transition of PUA practices from being traditional farmers to business farmers.
