“…A Southern approach to urban governance which sees city-making processes as 'rooted' in specific urban struggles complements and advances existing studies on urban agriculture that show how it advances eco-socialism, enables democracy, contests hegemony and builds a temporary commons (Yiftachel, 2006;Engel-Di Mauro and Martin, 2021;Huang, 2021;McClintock et al, 2021;Roast, 2022). Through a Southern urbanist lens, the infrastructural capacities of green informalities surface powerfully (Simone, 2004;Lawhon et al, 2018).…”

“…Unlike Huang (2021) and Roast's (2022) case studies that take place in urban peripheries, the contentious greening politics of Korail's dwellers unfolds in the urban center where there are rocketing land prices and dwellers have successfully held on to their informal land tenure against the drive to develop. Seen through a Southern urbanist lens, the khets of Korail are invented spaces that contest the hegemony of dominant notions of urban resilience.…”

“…Tornaghi and Certomà (2019) in their edited volume showcase the variegated political claims made through garden‐based activism in Northern cities undergoing post‐political neoliberal transformation. Huang (2021) illustrates how urban farming enables a micro‐politics of democracy in Hong Kong, while Roast (2022) argues that autonomous food production among peasants and migrant workers in the peri‐urban areas of Chongqing (China) produces a temporary commons.…”

Ecological infrastructure and urban agriculture are enacting a green resurgence in cities. In the global South, however, ecological infrastructure is often premised on erasing already existing informal agricultural practices (green informalities) and leads to the displacement of marginalized urban dwellers. How, then, can ecological infrastructure be calibrated with the specific realities of the global South's green informalities? What other socially just modalities of infrastructure can be learned from the vantage point of informal settlements? Past urban scholarship has documented the crucial role of urban agriculture in addressing food insecurity and poverty in the global South, yet the symbolic, collective and political dimensions of agricultural practices are absent from these accounts. Drawing from critical urban scholarship and feminist political ecology, and based on engaged research with a collective of urban farmers facing eviction, I argue that green informalities bring together dwellers and plants in an intimate entanglement in the everyday gendered politics of endurability and collective power‐building at the settlement level. The article illustrates that the informal economic and political practices that constitute these green informalities are crucial for understanding grassroots practices vis‐à‐vis urban environments. Recognizing the political and affective dimensions of green informalities can move urban studies and governance towards a situated appreciation of informal urban agriculture as socially just ecological infrastructure that centers justice and dweller agency.

“…Through similar programs, urban farming practitioners received assistance from the government, private sector, and individuals (Hallett et al, 2016). The Hong Kong government has incorporated urban farming activities into future urban planning efforts to meet the food needs of its urban population (Huang, 2021). It is hoped that various supportive government practices like these can be adopted by the Indonesian government, allowing urban farming activities to run sustainably.…”

Urbanization is the process of increasing the population migrating to urban areas, and urban farming is a farming practice carried out within the city. Both concepts have significant impacts on urban life and the environment. This research aims to analyze the interrelation of the positive impacts of urban farming and the negative impacts of urbanization. The analysis focuses on food and environmental aspects as alternative problem-solving methods in the cities of Bandung, Denpasar, and Palembang. This research uses qualitative method. Data collection uses field interview techniques with 30 informants, as well as a review of several scientific articles, previous research results, and reports from data-providing agencies such as the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman Model, with the stages of reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The results of the analysis show that there is an interrelation between the positive impacts of urban farming and the negative impacts of urbanization in the cities of Bandung, Denpasar, and Palembang. In terms of food aspect, urban farming can provide various types of easily accessible food for urban dwellers, such as vegetables, fruits, fisheries, and small-scale livestock. The food produced is relatively close to residential areas, so the quality is still fresh and healthy and the price is affordable as well. In the environmental aspect, urban farming can optimize the use of limited or vacant land in residential areas into productive land, such as for green spaces, farming activities, gardening, fisheries, and livestock. Other functions include enhancing the beauty of the environment, reducing household waste, and preserving organism biodiversity.

“…Along with the development of the era of technology and ideas began to develop, an idea emerged, where initially food agriculture was mostly only on the outskirts of the city, now food agriculture can be brought to urban areas by directing this agriculture in a modern way or Urban Farming (Rutt, 2020;Huang, 2021). Urban Farming is an agricultura l cultivation activity carried out in urban areas with minimal land conditions but can still be productive in producing quality food (Md Ibharim & Salim, 2020;Muhammad et al, 2020) which can be carried out on land in residential areas with various media.…”

<p>The market is a place where basic needs such as food can be purchased. The high demand for food in Denpasar is dominated by the needs of the tourism sector and the community. The fulfillment of the need for food is highly dependent on the agricultural sector. The increasing need for food is inversely proportional to the aspect of supporting the fulfillment of needs because the condition of agricultural land in Denpasar City is decreasing every year, so it must depend on outside areas such as Tabanan Regency, Bangli and the largest imported from Java. The ability of a region to produce food that can guarantee sufficient food needs by utilizing the existing potential can achieve food independence. The application of agricultural systems to produce food in urban areas really needs to be developed to provide access to adequate food to meet food needs. This article aims to explore the potential of urban urban areas that are integrated with traditional markets in urban areas at Sindu Market. Located in the Sanur tourism sector area, Sindu Market has potential that can be directed to become a tourism-based market. Furthermore, this article aims to determine the condition of food self-sufficiency in Denpasar City and the areas that supply food needs for Denpasar City by implementing the Urban Farming system. The implementation of the Urban Farming system will shorten the carbon chain in terms of distributing food ingredients from outside Denpasar City. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Data was collected by observation and interviews. The results showed that the food needs of the city of Denpasar were still not independent of their own food needs so that an innovative idea was born in the form of implementing the Urban Farming system at the Sindu Market, which was expected to be a solution to the problem of food needs in Denpasar City.</p>
