Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The production of vegetables and fruits within urban and peri-urban boundaries provides food for million of Africans in urban areas as well as livelihoods for thousands of urban growers. Thus, the socio-economic impact of urban horticulture is substantial. There is also a positivie effect on the environment through conservation of natural resources in city areas. However, there exists a need for technical development and official recognition of this type production to enhance sustainability. Furthermore, microbiological, chemical and physical food hazards need to be acknowledged.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In low- and middle-income countries, often neither waste nor wastewater are fully collected and treated, resulting in major impacts on the environment and health. Urban and peri-urban agriculture provides both food and income to many urban poor, but productivity of land is decreasing. Tackling these problems simultaneously enables solutions for both issues by introducing systems where organic waste is turned into high-value products and safe fertilisers.
