Transitioning from Social Innovation to Public Policy: Can Bangladesh Integrate Urban Rooftop Farming Policies into Governance by Examining Global Practices?

Urban Farm DB summary

This study explored the connection between organizational rational choice in urban rooftop farm (URF) policy development and social innovation, using a literature review and a case study of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Despite the rising popularity of URFs in Dhaka, existing policies and strategies were found to lack clarity and governing mechanisms are absent. The findings suggest that a participatory and co-productive approach, involving community members, local governments, and NGOs, is optimal for URF policy formulation and successful governance.
