Urbanization is truly the mark of the 21 century and with its speed the 'Urbanization of Poverty' has risen too and accounts now for 25% of the worlds' poor. Urban Farming can in this regard be part of the solution to mitigate urban poverty, which hits much harder on the urban poor when food crisis or expected price hikes in the near future will reoccur.

BOTTOM-UP AND TOP DOWN APPROACHES FOR URBAN AGRICULTUREcivej
Urban Agriculture, developed in several forms according to different contexts, is a trend that is acquiring
strength as it responds to the common need of a sustainable city in terms of environmental, economic,
social and institutional sustainability..
Urban Agriculture is a complex phenomena that involves different kind of approaches and intervention
typologies such as low tech and high tech solutions (from community gardens to vertical farms), that
characterizes the city at different scales (territory, town, neighbourhood, building and house), and that
responds to several exigencies and requirements fitting different users.
The paper aims to classify and describe the different typologies of integration of agriculture in urban areas
and its environmental, social and economics implications starting by dividing them according to the main
approaches identified: bottom-up approach, top-down and commercial approach.
The Brussels Development Briefing no. 50 on “Growing food in the cities: Successes and new opportunities” took place on 10 April 2018 from 09h00 to 13h00, ACP Secretariat, Brussels 451 Avenue Georges Henri, 1200 Brussels. This Briefing was organised by the ACP-EU Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA), in collaboration with the European Commission / DEVCO, the ACP Secretariat, and CONCORD.

Urban Agriculture Paper - From The Urban Agriculture Summit 2011, Washington ...Plantagon
The necessary components for green food production are found in flows of urban resources as nutrients, water, CO2 and energy in heating. If products are grown in closed urban agricultural systems using the best available environmental techniques, risks for both plants and consumers will be minimized. The Problem - The solution and biodiversity as a consequence (Washington D.C. November 16, 2011)

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Mitigating the urbanization of poverty urban farming & public food procurement for healthy cities
1. Urban Farming and Public Procurement for Healthy Cities
Danish NCD Alliance/CPH 19.03.2012
2. Outline of lecture
• Urbanization and the changing face of poverty
• Urban Farming as part of a solution
• Present overall project idea:
Healthy cities – Healthy diets: Integrating Urban
Farming and Public food procurement
4. Urban dynamics
• 60 % of the world is now urban – 70% in 35
years
• Every week a new city emerges with over 1.
mio. inhabitants (mostly in developing
countries) – Growth of Megapolis 10 mio+
• Every year the population of France migrates
from rural to urban
• In only 35 years two more India will have
emerged (2.5 billion more people)
5. Growing Urban Poverty
• Food crisis & rising food prices
• The Urban sector’s share of the poor is
rising over time
• Absolute poverty is higher in rural areas
(75% of DC’s poor still live in rural areas)
7. 2 and 3 illustrated
Number of poor (millions) Percent of DW’s Urban
population below each share of
poverty line the poor
(%)
Urban Rural Total Urban Rural Total
1$ a day 1993 236 1,036 1,272 13.5 36.6 27.8 18.5
2002 283 883 1,165 12.8 29.3 22.3 24.2
2$ a day 1993 683 2,215 2,898 39.1 78.2 63.3 23.6
2002 746 2,097 2,843 33.7 69.7 54.4 26.2
8. The Slum Dog Billion
• > 30% of the world’s
urban population –
1 billion people –
resides in slums
• 90% of slum dwellers
live in developing world
10. Urban Agriculture as a solution?
• 800 mio. people around the
world make a living from
urban farming – major part in
the metropolis’ of Asia
• 200 mio. people make a living from selling their urban
farm products to a market
11. • Cities around the world are already producing
on average 1/3 of the food the inhabitants
consume
12. 3 Types of Urban farming
• Micro scale farm plots integrated with
social housing or slum projects (often
vacant intra city-plots
• Smaller scale multifunctional (agro)forestry
in green city-corridors or peri-urban areas
(often less favorable areas: Steep slopes,
river banks, tree belt to stop desertfication,
utilizing sewage waste)
13. • Cluster of more intensive high-tech farming
with livestock (pork, chicken and fishfarms) or
greenhouse produce inter-acting in different
forms of cooperation utilizing manure etc
(Often Peri-urban areas)
14. Operating within three areas
Ecological (Environmental Social (Inclusive city)
Healthy city)
Subsistence oriented UA
Multifunctional UA Production of food for self
consumption
* Organic and diverse agriculture
* Savings on food & health
and (agro-) forestry close to
expenditures
consumers
* Some income from selling of
•Combination with other functions
surpluses
(recreation, urban greening,
* Part of livelihood strategies
microclimate, park management, of the urban poor
water storage, education)
* CO2 reduction
Market oriented UA
* Income generation from
producing food and non-food
products for the market
* Small scale family based
and
larger scale entrepreneurial
enterprises
Economical
(Productive city)
15. Positive urban farm outcomes
• Poverty alleviation
– Reduces food expences (normally 60-80% of
household budget)
– Potential for generating income by surplus sales
(30-70$/month compared with minimum wage
20-40$/month)
– Generating linkages to new jobs in inputs,
(organic waste collection, composting),
processing and marketing, transport, veterinary
services etc
16. Positive Urban Farm cont…
• Healthy city - Urban food security
– Buffer on food hikes and food supplies securing
potentially a healthy diet
– Regular food intake
– Mitigating the ’double burden of malnutrition’
wasting (weight/height)
stunting (height/age)
diabetes/obesity
17. Problems related to Urban farming
• Health risks for producers as well as
consumers (inappropriate use of
wastewater, contaminated
rivers/streams)
• Inadequate management of livestock
(confinements for collecting urine,
manure risk of attracting rats)
18. Problems cont…..
• Inadequate supplies of
nutrient inputs
• Theft
• Exposure to land, air, water
contamination from traffic,
industry
• Poor land use security/rights
19. Project idea:
Healthy Cities – Healthy Diets
• Integrating Urban farming with Public food
procurement as a driver for social inclusion
(School meal programs, hospitals, nursery)
– Children are send to school (free meal)
– Children can stay awake in class
– Higher chance teachers stay at school
– Medicine works (aids, TB etc)
– Educational integration
20. Urban Farming targeting:
• Social inclusion (garden training, nutrient and
pest handling, healthy food education)
• Market sale (marketing training, small shop set
up, new service job linkages: organic waste
collection, transport, seed or seedling production)
• Environmental services (sanitary awareness,
Greening the city, water management,
Demonstration plotsn plots
21. Quick conclusions
• Agriculture & rural development are still important
in mitigating poverty
• But new political initiatives integrating urbanization,
poverty and health is needed
• Urban Farming offers quick and concrete solutions
targeting and unifying difficult challenges:
– Improved food security
– Better sanitary services and Health
– Broad range of Environmental services
– Organic waste collection and compost making
– New job creation
– Human & political rights focus
