“…Such social housing areas are struck by poverty and social exclusion and cultivating food remains an activity for subsistence. Most of the cases falling into this category are managed by local government authorities, a few by institutions and foundations, and only one can be identified as a community-led initiative (case 13) on nonregularised land (Cabannes and Raposo, 2013).…”

“…This national process culminated in the first and only national and international conference on UA organised by Seixal Municipality in 2011 (Lança, 2011), which brought together 250 researchers and practitioners. The conference took place in the context of high levels of unemployment (Pascual, 2015) and pressure from low income groups searching for means of producing food (Luiz and Jorge, 2011, Cabannes and Raposo, 2013, Delgado, 2015.…”

“…The micro-climate regulation of UFP is still under evaluation, although some authors have referred to studies on green roof effects as proxies. Gasperi [63] evaluated the effects on the micro-climate of an experimental rooftop garden in the city center of Bologna, which had a positive effect on human thermal comfort. Finally, a debate around the increased resource efficiency of UFP exists in the literature, as the comparison between urban food and conventional food strongly depends on the production system and the geographical context [16][17][18]31].…”

Urban Food Production (UFP) initiatives are expanding worldwide to enhance urban food production while contributing to the development of sustainable cities in a three-bottom perspective (environment, society, economy). Although the sustainability aspects of UFS have been addressed in the literature, there is a need to set a sustainability framework for UFP based on the concepts and the understanding of the stakeholders as a basis for quantifying their sustainability and for developing effective policy-making. This paper evaluates the concepts of the UFP sustainability from a stakeholders' perspective through participatory methods and network analyses. Two different workshops were organized in the city of Bologna (Italy), where mind-mapping exercises to define the environmental, economic and social sustainability elements of UFP were performed. This bottom-up approach unveiled a comprehensive and complex vision of sustainable UFP, the relevance of certain sustainability elements and key aspects to take into consideration for the development of UFP and effective policy-making. The existence of bidimensional and tridimensional concepts indicated priorities, synergies and trade-offs among the dimensions of sustainability. The multi-scalar nature of UFP suggested that specific policies can be supported by global schemes (e.g., Sustainable Development Goals) and that UFP can be a local tool for democracy and equity at lower scales.

“…As a response to the economic crises exacerbated by the structural adjustment programmes, and increasing urbanisation (rural-urban migration without adequate development plans for the new urban population). UA has expanded rapidly within the last 30 years, the acceptance and incorporation into development plans of cities has made it a component of urban development strategies for the global south (Yves Cabannes & Raposo, 2013). Most important to proponents of UA, is the entry and exit points, it is an activity seen by those engaging with it as an add-on to what some urban households are doing pending when other options become available and exit it because of it lack of social security (Ellis & Allison, 2001).…”

This paper explains how poor urban households in Port Harcourt City, Nigeria, engage with urban agricultural production practices in order to improve their conditions. It shows that this engagement is socially mediated by a primary desire for households' food security. An important feature of the assertions made about conventional approaches to economic development relating to Nigeria was the assumption that this would bring about more jobs and employment. They contrasted rural with urban areas and agriculture with industries but because they were not well planned for in terms of policies, they all failed in the early 1980s. Urban agriculture then act as a shock absorber to cushion the effect of these bad policies on urban households. One of such policies is the Land Use Act 1978 which forced urban households engaging with UA to abandon their urban land with little or no compensation. This has continued during and after the structural adjustments programmes till date and poverty reduction policies are yet to incorporate urban agriculture as an urban livelihood strategy. This paper reviewed the phases of development in Nigeria, made case for urban agriculture as part of urban production system and suggested that urban agriculture should be defined in context to its features and the particular city hosting it.
