The Role of Urban Agriculture in Household Wellbeing: Case Study of Community-Based Urban Agriculture in Ndola, Zambia

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper investigates the role of community-based urban agriculture in household well-being in Ndola, Zambia. Although urban agriculture has attracted the attention of various scholars in recent years, there are relatively few studies from the region of Southern Africa. The research confirms the positive influence of urban agriculture on household wellbeing. Farmers appreciate that agriculture-based activities are a promising option for sustaining their livelihoods, in terms of food intake and income generation. Moreover a spillover effect occurs due to the ability of farmers to provide small job opportunities for people living in their neighbourhood. On the other hand, farmers face various constraints in the form of limited access to food markets, crops marketed via middlemen, low diversity of planted crops and low levels of savings. Better organization of farmers and legal recognition of their cooperative may help to tackle these problems.
