EXEQUIBILIDADE DA AGRICULTURA URBANA PARA AS COMUNIDADES RESIDENTES DAS ÁREAS DE RISCO

Urban Farm DB summary

A study of Fortaleza, Brazil, examined urban agriculture initiatives in risk areas — including the municipal Hortas Sociais (Social Gardens) project — through literature review and field visits to project sites and relevant agencies. It found that introducing urban agriculture on vacant land in risk areas can help deter irregular occupation and, when incorporated into municipal policy, can provide income and food to the urban poor.
