Landscape and outdoor domestic space towards food sovereignty and environmental regeneration
Céline Veríssimo, Leo Name
Urban Farm DB summary
This essay by Veríssimo and Name examines community practices of edible landscaping in outdoor domestic spaces in the city of Dondo, Mozambique, framing them as a form of quiet resistance to marginalization and as a means of household-community empowerment; the authors argue these diversified spaces support food sovereignty and call on landscape architects to draw on this knowledge, which they say is typically disregarded by professional practice.
