Cities Feeding People: An Examination of Urban Agriculture in East Africa

Year: 1994

Type: book

Abstract: This book examines urban agriculture in East Africa and proves that it is a safe, clean, and secure method to feed the world's struggling urban residents. It also collapses the myth that urban agriculture is practiced only by the poor and unemployed. "Cities Feeding People" provides the hard facts needed to convince governments that urban agriculture should have a larger role in feeding the urban population.
