This book provides a detailed review of urban agriculture in Accra, Bangalore, Lima, and Nairobi. These four cities help to highlight how urban agriculture provides an important component of municipal management that enhances food security, increases urban resilience, and responds to increasing climate variability. In addition to a detailed survey of these four cities, the report provides an overview of urban agriculture, the use of grey water, and the economics of urban agriculture.
