Organic farmers prepare a plot of arable land (the Selbsternte plot) and sow or plant rows composed of 18-23 plant species. In mid-May the plots are divided into subplots that contain 2-6 m of every sown species and are rented to so-called self-harvesters for a period of about 136 days. In 2002 Selbsternte was being practiced at 15 plots in Vienna or in neighboring cities, represented by 861 subplots, with a total area of 68,740 m(2). and managed by 12 organic farmers for 861 registered self-harvesters. At the Roter Berg plot, experimental subplots were established to evaluate yields and the value of the harvested produce, and interviews were conducted with 27 self-harvesters, the eight Selbsternte farmers and one Selbsternte consultant. The experimental subplots were managed in two different ways, namely, `with low intensity' (LIS) and `with high intensity' (HIS; meaning additional harrowing, mulching and sowing of additional plants). At the LIS 24.2 h and at the HIS 38.9h of work were invested over 51 days. Monetary investment was US$184 for the LIS and US$259 for the HIS subplots. The total harvest of fresh produce was: 163 kg subplot(-1) for LIS and 208 kg subplot(-1) for HIS subplots. The total value of the harvest at the HIS was US$364 for conventional and US$766 for organic prices. All self-harvesters saw the rental of a subplot and the work as an activity of leisure. More than half of the self-harvesters reported `trying something new' at their subplots. The most frequently mentioned innovation for them was growing an unknown species. Twenty-five self-harvesters sowed 54 different, additional plant species. The motivating factors in establishing Selbsternte plots, as reported by all the farmers, were, primarily. better relations with consumers and work diversification, and only then were economic factors a consideration. The contribution of Selbsternte to income varied at the farms, being between 0 and 30% of the total farm income. As a main success factor, all of the farmers reported a close relationship between the self-harvesters and the farmers. Selbsternte subplots can be understood as small experimental stations where self-harvesters merge traditional horticultural techniques with urban ideas on permaculture, sustainable land use and participatory farming. Selbsternte has potential value for the improvement of urban agriculture, but also for the development of organic farming in general.", "publicationTitle": "RENEWABLE AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SYSTEMS", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "June 2004", "volume": "19", "issue": "2", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "67-79", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "10.1079/RAFS200062", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "1742-1705", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Innovation;" }, { "tag": "Relations;" }, { "tag": "Urban" }, { "tag": "agrobiodiversity;" }, { "tag": "experiments" }, { "tag": "farmers'" }, { "tag": "farming;" }, { "tag": "organic" }, { "tag": "self-harvesters" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2011-11-23T18:55:04Z", "dateModified": "2011-11-23T18:55:04Z" } }, { "key": "V94PKQF4", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 61067, "name": "Articles for Brian Carpenter", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/articles_for_brian_carpenter", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/61067/items/V94PKQF4", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/articles_for_brian_carpenter/items/V94PKQF4", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 36337, "username": "meg.bresnahan", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/meg.bresnahan", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Madaleno", "parsedDate": "2000-02", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "V94PKQF4", "version": 1, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Urban agriculture in Belem, Brazil", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "I", "lastName": "Madaleno" } ], "abstractNote": "Growing one's own food is an important survival strategy, so it shouldn't be surprising that many urbanites produce food, even in congested cities. Urban agriculture concerns such farming as animal husbandry, the growing of fruit trees, crops of basic grains and horticulture, which coexist in the city with tree crops, and the raising of rabbits, poultry, or other stock. With regard to the edible areas, we consider urban open spaces and inner courtyard plots (like homegardens), any small cultivated strips located within town boundaries as well as larger peripheral areas. Urban agriculture refers both to intra and peri-urban surfaces. Results from a research project underway in Belem, Brazil, permit us to argue that urban agriculture offers nutritional and environmental benefits. Moreover, urban planners from this Amazonian city have been integrating urban food production into municipal projects with some success. The paper provides convincing evidence of the importance of urban food production. We measure the space it utilizes, we mention the various crops and livestock produced, we quantify the food and non-food products consumed or used, we consider the production system, we value the usage of wastes. The paper concludes with the importance of producing environmentally sustainable types of fruits and vegetables to add variety to meals and to enhance the nutrition of the urban poor.

It asserts that the challenge of agricultural sustainability can be fruitfully addressed within an analytical framework that consciously and explicitly considers agricultural development as consisting of processes of coevolution involving agriculture and the surrounding ecological and socioeconomic systems. When this framework and certain derived indicators for agricultural sustainability are applied to Swedish agricultural development during the twentieth century, the following conclusions are reached. First, the new system of traditional agriculture that had emerged towards the end of nineteenth century in relation to various interactive forces within the socioeconomic system was associated with strengthening rural-urban interaction and interconnectedness. The system was substantially improved during the first quarter of the twentieth century, becoming capable of producing a sufficient supply of food within rural-urban sphere. Second, Swedish agriculture was transformed during the second and third quarters into a modem industrial system characterized by weakening local coevolutionary processes and by various agro-ecological problems. Resource flows uncoupled from the surrounding ecological and socioeconomic systems and food consumption uncoupled from local food production. Third, agricultural sustainability was generally high and improving during the first quarter of the twentieth century, deteriorating during the second and third quarters, and low but improving during the fourth. Finally, attaining sustainable agriculture will likely entail the strengthening of coevolutionary processes at the municipality level. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

On the remaining farmland, there has been a trend to consolidate into fewer and larger enterprises, to specialize production lines, to mechanize and automate, to increase usage of imported synthetic inputs, all at the expense of environmental protection, and natural resource stewardship. Sustainability of the agri-food system, including the dimension of rural farm community viability, should be questioned as a consequence. Widespread adoption of organic farming systems would do much to mitigate the stewardship and sustainability problems, but too many impediments exist to prevent this. Adoption of reduced-input farming techniques would offer a partial or second-best solution to sustainability problems. It is argued that additional measures in the form of public intervention should be employed. Public policies aimed at inducing farmers to expend more conservation effort on behalf of the environment and sustainable agri-food systems could encompass farmer education and extension assistance, financial assistance, cross-compliance measures, and compulsion backed by litigation and penalties. Such policies would best be targeted, especially when scarce public funds are earmarked for subsidizing farmers' conservation efforts, rather than universally applied. Targeting criteria should be not only high potential for achieving environmental protection and agri-food sustainability, but also positive net social welfare outcomes.

Its economic and social values are regarded in terms of the hugeness of its areas, the number of its manpower and the quality of its production. It covers 75% of the municipality surface and production systems are generally organized according to the climatic conditions. However, the new, rapid and diffused urban growth greatly affects these traditional structures. It is subjected to different inconvenient factors from the nearby urban area and has difficulties in functioning due to vandalism of the cultures, neighboring conflicts often due to environmental problems such as degradation of the material, defection of irrigation network, illegal grazing, soil stamping, car traffic, etc. The conversion of agricultural lands, generally of high quality, into non-agricultural lands results mainly from the urban development at the expense of agriculture. The socio-economic needs in land have rendered the agricultural activities difficult and decreased the agriculture in suburban areas. Landscape is not considered as an essential structure by the city. Urban planning, decided only by the elected members, is somewhat inefficient in terms of agricultural land protection. Paradoxically, the laws of protection exist but are not applied. Four major considerations have been pointed out by this study: the constraints generated by the suburban agriculture in Setif, the situation of the agricultural land, the high urban pressure and its consequences, and the need to define the place of the suburban agriculture in the sustainable development of the city.", "publicationTitle": "BIOTECHNOLOGIE AGRONOMIE SOCIETE ET ENVIRONNEMENT", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2008", "volume": "12", "issue": "1", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "23-30", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "1370-6233", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Agricultural" }, { "tag": "Agriculture;" }, { "tag": "Sustainable" }, { "tag": "Urban" }, { "tag": "development." }, { "tag": "land;" }, { "tag": "pressure;" }, { "tag": "suburban" }, { "tag": "urbanization;" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2011-11-23T18:55:04Z", "dateModified": "2011-11-23T18:55:04Z" } }, { "key": "TXKKUCF7", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 61067, "name": "Articles for Brian Carpenter", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/articles_for_brian_carpenter", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/61067/items/TXKKUCF7", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/articles_for_brian_carpenter/items/TXKKUCF7", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 36337, "username": "meg.bresnahan", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/meg.bresnahan", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Boudjenouia et al.", "parsedDate": "2006-04", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "TXKKUCF7", "version": 1, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Status of periurban agriculture in Setif (Algeria): Land reserve or urban project?", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "A", "lastName": "Boudjenouia" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "A", "lastName": "Fleury" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "A", "lastName": "Tacherift" } ], "abstractNote": "Setif, a mid-sized city located on the Algerian highlands, was founded in 1847; its agriculture was soon wholly devoted to large-scale grain farming without any green belt to feed its inhabitants. Setif is growing rather quickly today and takes mainly periurban farmland for new construction. Moreover, new towns are planned to surround Setif, at 2 to 5 kms from the city limits, which ultimately threatens the ring of farmland between them and the central city. This paper analyzes the possible role of periurban agriculture in the urban policy of Setif: is the loss of farmland a problem from the city's point of view? Annual urban expansion has been about 50 ha since 1966. Government policy has sometimes been oriented towards urban planning, sometimes more market-oriented and liberal. Agriculture is still directed mainly towards the Algerian market, not only for cereals, but also for new products, Such as ornamentals; trends for the urban area are very similar to those for the entire wilaya (administrative region). Moreover, one effect of globalisation is the reduced necessity for farmland. There is thus not really any local interest in preventing construction of farmland. Until now, neither farmers, as owners as well as new city dwellers, nor urban planners have been sensitive to the urban values of agriculture (landscape, green belt, etc.). Nevertheless, some signs of other points of view are now discernible: some people seek local production for its specific qualities (especially freshness), and some families want gardens for their own consumption. At the same time, a new concept of rural amenities is emerging, as seen in oued Boussellam valley or Zenadia forest, now designed as green belt. On a larger scale, the Algerian government is again anxious to improve food security, which today depends mainly on importation. We concluded that although farmland today is considered only a land reserve for construction, local planning policies may soon take other, newer concepts into account.", "publicationTitle": "CAHIERS AGRICULTURES", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "MAR-APR 2006", "volume": "15", "issue": "2", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "221-226", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "1166-7699", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "(urbanization);" }, { "tag": "Agriculture;" }, { "tag": "Land" }, { "tag": "Sustainable" }, { "tag": "development" }, { "tag": "rights;" }, { "tag": "suburban" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2011-11-23T18:55:04Z", "dateModified": "2011-11-23T18:55:04Z" } }, { "key": "T6PRCW33", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 61067, "name": "Articles for Brian Carpenter", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/articles_for_brian_carpenter", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/61067/items/T6PRCW33", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/articles_for_brian_carpenter/items/T6PRCW33", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 36337, "username": "meg.bresnahan", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/meg.bresnahan", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Babo", "parsedDate": "2010", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "T6PRCW33", "version": 1, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Sociopolitical Crisis and the Reconstruction of Sustainable Periurban Agriculture in Abidjan, Côte d'lvoire.", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Alfred", "lastName": "Babo" } ], "abstractNote": "This article examines the effects of the post-2002 sociopolitical crisis in Abidjan, Côte d'lvoire, on urban and peri-urban agriculture.

This has happened to a degree where agriculture has been absorbed into the urban economy, producing Tor urban based agribusiness companies and with a majority of rural households dependent on migrant work. The conventional development model was successful from an economic point of view, making Thailand the world's fifth largest exporter of agricultural commodities. The development model, however, has left a significant portion of Thai farmers outside the mainstream of economic success and social development. When the financial crisis doomed on Thailand in 1997 due to overheating of the economy, unwise short-term investments and financial mismanagement, the Thai population had an opportunity to review the development model. The maldevelopment in terms of degradation of natural resources and human values following the rapid economic growth and urbanization, together with many years of authoritarian government rule, triggered an ideological debate among the rapidly growing urban middle class on the direction of development. As environmental issues increasingly legitimize a discourse for social protests and for protection of vested interests by grassroots, government agencies and elite social forces alike, it becomes pertinent to analyze these issues in a socio-economic and political context. The Eight Development Plan introduced the concept of “Sustainable Agriculture” as a tribute to those not benefiting from conventional agricultural development. Hence it becomes essential to include economic, socio-cultural, institutional and political analyses along with biophysical resources and production methods.

Kiribati, like other nations in the Pacific, faces an urban future where food insecurity, unemployment, waste management and malnutrition will become increasing issues. Homegardening is suggested as one way to address many of these problems. However, the most recent study on agriculture production in urban centres in Kiribati shows that, in general, intensive cultivation of homegardens is not a common practice.

In this alternative market, farmers offer their production to consumers in the form of shares some months before they begin to produce their crops. Sometime later, during some months, consumers will receive the goods. Nowadays, several countries have a significant portion of their population that lives in poverty. Several public policies have been designed to reduce poverty in these countries and the stimulus to urban agriculture is one of these policies. However, poor urban farmers frequently have difficulties to purchase the inputs to continue with their food production. The continuous support of the local government associated to the continuous support of the local community could help those farmers to maintain their urban production. And for those poor urban farmers a CSA could be an alternative way of organization. The objective of this work was to get some information of CSAs from USA and find whether consumers and urban farmers from a poor Brazilian town would like to be engaged in this type of project. American CSAs generally occupied an area smaller than 2 ha, offered consumers different types of vegetables for at least four months and most of them used practices of organic production. However, there were several difficulties to run this project and the most important ones were planning and maintaining the production system. Some consumers from a town in Brazil were willing to engage in a CSA project mainly because they would receive fresh and organic products. Yet, poor urban farmers from this town did not show willingness to engage in a CSA project. Their main reason was that they were not able to control their production system.

This pattern of agricultural growth has reinforced Brazil' status as one of the world's most inequitable countries in terms of income distribution, making it difficult to assert that the nation is pursuing a sustainable development path.

In developing countries, this phenomenon is exacerbated by poverty, leading to tremendous problems of employment, immigration from the rural areas, transportation, food supply and environment protection. Simultaneously with the growth of cities, a new type of agriculture has emerged; namely, urban agriculture. Here, the main functions of urban agriculture are described: its social roles, the economic functions as part of its multi-functionality, the constraints, and the risks for human consumption and the living environment. We highlight the following major points. (1) Agricultural activity will continue to be a strong contributor to urban households. Currently, differences between rural and urban livelihood households appear to be decreasing. (2) Urban agricultural production includes aquaculture, livestock and plants. The commonest crops are perishable leafy vegetables, particularly in South-east Asia and Africa. These vegetable industries have short marketing chains with lower price differentials between farmers and consumers than longer chains. The city food supply function is one of the various roles and objectives of urban agriculture that leads to increasing dialogue between urban dwellers, city authorities and farmers. (3) One of the farmers' issues is to produce high quality products in highly populated areas and within a polluted environment. Agricultural production in cities faces the following challenges: access to the main agricultural inputs, fertilizers and water; production in a polluted environment; and limitation of its negative impact on the environment. Urban agriculture can reuse city wastes, but this will not be enough to achieve high yields, and there is still a risk of producing unsafe products. These are the main challenges for urban agriculture in keeping its multi-functional activities such as cleansing, opening up the urban space, and producing fresh and nutritious food.", "publicationTitle": "AGRONOMY FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "JAN-MAR 2010", "volume": "30", "issue": "1", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "21-32", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "10.1051/agro:2008062", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://www.springerlink.com/errors/500.mpx?errorid=076f7c83-f71e-4a3f-a30a-753c68d7592f", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "1774-0746", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Agriculture;" }, { "tag": "Urban" }, { "tag": "Vegetables;" }, { "tag": "and" }, { "tag": "chains;" }, { "tag": "freshness;" }, { "tag": "livelihoods;" }, { "tag": "marketing" }, { "tag": "multi-functional" }, { "tag": "peri-urban" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2011-11-23T18:55:04Z", "dateModified": "2011-11-23T18:55:04Z" } }, { "key": "MK6TAQ6N", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 61067, "name": "Articles for Brian Carpenter", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/articles_for_brian_carpenter", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/61067/items/MK6TAQ6N", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/articles_for_brian_carpenter/items/MK6TAQ6N", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 36337, "username": "meg.bresnahan", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/meg.bresnahan", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Bojaca et al.", "parsedDate": "2010", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "MK6TAQ6N", "version": 1, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Sustainability aspects of vegetable production in the peri-urban environment of Bogota, Colombia.", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Carlos Ricardo", "lastName": "Bojaca" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Kris A.

In this study, we identify current trends and deficiencies in fertilisation and pest management for local vegetable production. We relate pesticide type with target pests, evaluate temporal patterns in pesticide and fertiliser use for a key crop (i.e. spinach) and conduct basic nutrient budget accounting. Personal interviews with vegetable growers were combined with a detailed follow-up of management activities and soil nutrient profiles on pilot farms in two different peri-urban municipalities. Most (84%) vegetable growers relied on personal experience, and indicated a lack of unbiased information on fertiliser effectiveness and pesticide action spectra. The majority of farmers used pesticide mixtures on a calendar basis and commonly", "publicationTitle": "International Journal of Sustainable Development & World Ecology", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2010", "volume": "17", "issue": "6", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "487 - 498", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=aph&AN=55473849&site=ehost-live", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "13504509", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "AGRICULTURAL systems" }, { "tag": "BOGOTA (Colombia)" }, { "tag": "COLOMBIA" }, { "tag": "FERTILIZERS – Application" }, { "tag": "HORTICULTURE" }, { "tag": "SOIL fertility" }, { "tag": "SUSTAINABILITY" }, { "tag": "URBAN agriculture" }, { "tag": "VEGETABLES" }, { "tag": "farming systems" }, { "tag": "peri-urban agriculture" }, { "tag": "smallholders" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2011-11-23T18:55:04Z", "dateModified": "2011-11-23T18:55:04Z" } } ]
