“…Unfortunately, this reality has yet to receive full recognition and has only recently gained attention. This is primarily due to the negative perceptions surrounding agriculture as solely a rural activity, the lack of regard for the environment, and the weak political support it receives (Drescher et al2021) (Marçal et al, 2021).…”

Rapid urbanization in Ethiopia, driven by the government's efforts to modernize and diversify the economy, has led to significant land expropriation in the capital city of Addis Ababa and its surrounding areas. This process has resulted in the displacement of peri-urban indigenous communities, particularly in the Addis Ababa and Sheger cities in Oromia region. This study investigates the socio-economic, cultural, and policy implications of land acquisition on these communities. Through a comprehensive literature review and analysis of a survey of 223 evicted households in Lemmi Kura Sub city of Addis Ababa, we examine the consequences of land dispossession, including loss of livelihood, food insecurity, and inadequate compensation and rehabilitation measures. We also explore potential mitigation strategies, such as sustainable urban planning, land use management, and strengthening community resilience. Our findings highlight the urgent need for inclusive policies that prioritize the rights and well-being of marginalized communities while promoting sustainable urban development.

“…Furthermore, Deksissa et al [51] argue that UA integration strategies and green rainwater harvesting infrastructure could help urban areas at local and global levels in exploring adaptation mechanisms to extreme climate change events. Likewise, Marçal et al [52] argue that in the city of Goiânia, UA plays the role of making the urban environment more resilient to the climate crisis by helping mitigate drought, floods, improve soil conservation, capturing carbon from the atmosphere and lowering local air temperature.…”

Urban agriculture (UA) can be used as an action to promote sustainability in cities and inform public health policies for urban populations. Despite this growing recognition, its implementation still presents challenges in countries in the Global North and Global South. Background: In this context, this systematic review aims to identify the development of frameworks for the implementation of UA as a sustainable action and its main opportunities and shortcomings in meeting urban socio-environmental demands. Methods: In this review, using the PRISMA protocol, we evaluated 26 studies on the interplay between UA and sustainability surveyed on the Web of Science to provide an overview of the state of the art. Conclusions: In summary, it was possible to identify many key challenges in UA adoption, which regard air and soil contamination, availability of green areas, layout of urban infrastructure, food distribution, among others. Due to numerous socio-economic and environmental contextual factors in cities, especially when comparing realities of the Global North and Global South, there is a need to develop a model that can be adaptable to these different contexts. Thus, it is recognized that the concept of sustainability does not present a universal understanding and that in its search it could be argued that one of the most important gaps is still to address social issues in relation to environmental ones.

“…O mais recente deles, realizado por Sousa (2019), levanta, quantifica e mapeia as práticas de agricultura no tecido urbanosubdividas nas regiões administrativase nos sítios periurbanos. Marçal et al (2019) apresentam a agricultura urbana como estratégia de ocupação dos vazios urbanos e de áreas ociosas e mapeiam áreas prioritárias dessa iniciativa afim de "promover a diversidade e inclusão social e cultural, cooperar com a prestação de serviços ambientais e contribuir com a melhoria da produtividade da cidade e com a segurança alimentar e nutricional de grupos vulneráveis" (Marçal et al, 2019: 5). Marçal et al (2019) ainda apontam a prática de agricultura urbana e periurbana em Goiânia como possível solução para mitigação e adaptação urbana num contexto de mudanças climáticas globais.…”

Este artigo tem como temática o estudo da agricultura urbana como estratégia de adaptação das cidades no contexto das mudanças climáticas globais aplicado aos vazios urbanos em Goiânia. As mudanças climáticas, entendidas pela desregulação dos padrões meteorológicos, dadas pelos padrões de uso da terra e do solo, requerem medidas mitigadoras e adaptativas para tornar as cidades resilientes. Dentre as possibilidades de ações de adaptação esse estudo se ancora na prática de agricultura urbana. Nesse contexto, um dos aspectos primordiais é o da necessidade de áreas apropriadas para sua prática na cidade. Sendo assim, busca-se identificar se os vazios urbanos podem ser aproveitados para a atividade de agricultura urbana em Goiânia, considerando as reflexões sobre sustentabilidade ambiental, cumprimento da função social da propriedade urbana e direito à cidade. A pesquisa é de natureza aplicada e explicativa e se fundamenta em procedimento técnico de pesquisa bibliográfico e documental.
