Description from Urban Harvest website: "In an era of global urban food crises and rapid, unplanned city growth, how can urban agriculture be transformed from a potential source of health risks into a vehicle for healthier urban households and local environments? Embedded in the specific policy context of Kampala, Uganda, but relevant to the rest of Africa and beyond, this book provides research and evidence to guide policy about the health risks and benefits associated with urban farming." Edited by Donald Cole, Diana Lee-Smith and George Nasinyama. Published by Urban Harvest/CIP and Makerere University Press. 2008.
