Research Framework

Urban Harvest has been involved in a participatory process with many national and international partners in urban and peri-urban agriculture to jointly come up with an adequate framework to study the complex, dynamic, and multi-sectoral reality of the urban environment. This framework focuses on three essential themes in UPA which provide the basis for guiding activities at the practical level of research and development projects in regional settings, as well as in alliance-building initiatives at global and regional level:

Urban Livelihoods and Markets

Urban Ecosystem Health

Stakeholder and Policy Dialogue
