Urban Agriculture and Food Systems

The SES’s work spans food and nutritional security, urban, peri-urban, and organic agriculture, ecological and water security, soil and plant health, the informal urban food economy, and enabling sustainability and economic viability of small farms.

This work focuses on:

• Urban and peri-urban agriculture and well-being and sustainability in the global South.
• Impact of urban agriculture and nature-based solutions on supporting food systems, sustainable food practices, and organic agriculture.
• Co-production of knowledge for and across the science–policy–practice–citizen interface.
