Notes

  • 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.
