Intersection and material flow in open-space urban farms in Tanzania.

Urban Farm DB summary

This chapter examines open-space urban farms in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, using movement, flow, and intersection as heuristic devices to bridge analytical gaps between urban agriculture in the Global South and North. It focuses on the movements of farmers, their life trajectories, and how farms serve as nodes for social interactions, information exchange, and knowledge transfer for both farmers and non-farmers. The chapter aims to facilitate an understanding of urban agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa beyond poverty and marginalization.
