| Abstract | The significance of urban horticulture as an important and growing sector of the urban space economy can be appreciated at individual household, community, and national levels. Urban horticulture is also a source of employment, income and favors both social inclusion and reduction of gender inequalities as 65% of urban farmers are women (Orsini et al. 2013). A key challenge is developing policy, strategies and technical support mechanisms for the sustainable management of urban agricultural systems, addressing production issues and marketing needs within a broader framework of environmental planning and management, water supply and utilization schemes, and food safety assurance (FAO, 2010). |
