Urban Harvest presentation

Urban Harvest - Development focused research partnerships in urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA)

Urban Harvest is the CGIAR system-wide initiative on UPA.

Welcome to our newly designed site. Whether you are involved in research, projects, education or employment in the area of UPA, we hope that with our new web design you will find it easier to access the information, resources or support that you require.

We want to make this site as useful and navigable as possible, so please contact us if you believe that we can improve our site in any way. Our website is still "work in progress". Of the five project locations, Kampala, Uganda is ready to view. We hope to launch the other project location portals within the near future. Thank you for your patience.
