Towards resilient urban food systems – experiences from Nairobi and Dhaka
The latest edition of the Urban Agriculture Magazine (Issue 40, January 2024), showcases innovative approaches, actions, and initiatives for strengthening all aspects of urban and city region food systems. Part-funded by the CGIAR Resilient Cities Research Initiative, articles are drawn from experiences under this initiative, supplemented by others from the RUAF Global Partnership and other organizations.
The collection includes a focus on resilient food production, with two contributions from WorldVeg. These describe efforts to enable urban and peri-urban growers to understand the benefits of using seedling trays to producer healthier seedlings in Nairobi, Kenya, and the piloting and scaling of innovative urban gardening technologies in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
