Urban agriculture : food for thoughtVan der Merwe, Louise 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MS en S)--Stellenbosch University, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: An ever changing urban environment, limited economic opportunities and rising poverty, have brought
into sharp relief the need for strategies that support the livelihoods of the poor. Urban areas are
complex and dynamic systems. No town or city is immune from either external forces (globalisation)
that dictate the need to adapt, or to internal pressures (the natural growth pattern of an urban
population and rural-urban migration) that collectively can precipitate growth or decline.
The formal sector cannot, in most instances, fulfil the need for secure, regular employment in the
urban areas, which leads to increases in unemployment, gradual breakdown of basic services - visual
evidence includes large squatter settlements in and around urban centres - and the not unlikely
increase in food insecurity. There is no doubt that the future of urban centres is dependent on the
effective absorption of the increasing number of urban dwellers into its environmental, economical and
social structures, and public policy plays an important role in the success of this process.
The important contribution of urban agriculture in bolstering food security of urban households raises
critical planning issues. The spatial integration of our settlements is critical; it holds the potential to
enhance economic efficiency and social development. Spatial strategies should be combined with
economic and environmental programmes to form an integrated approach towards development.
Urban agriculture could possibly catalyse broader developmental processes such as local economic
development, whereby disadvantaged communities could potentially secure the benefits of
employment and increase food security. The provision of opportunities for urban agriculture not only
makes it possible to meet the food needs of the urban poor, but to also ensure sustainable human
settlements. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In die lig van 'n dinamiese stedelike omgewing, beperkte ekonomiese geleenthede en toenemende
armoede, beklemtoon die nood aan strategieë wat die arm stedelike gemeenskap bevoordeel.
Stedelike gebiede is ingewikkelde en dinamiese sisteme. Geen dorp of stad is vrygeskeld van
eksterne invloede (globalisasie), óf van interne invloede (die natuurlike groeipatroon in 'n stedelike
gebied en migrasie van platteland na stede) wat kollektief groei of verval van stede kan aanhits.
Die formele sektor kan in die meeste gevalle nie aan die behoefte van vaste werksaanstelling in
stedelike gebiede voldoen nie. Dit lei tot 'n toename in werkloosheid en die geleidelike afbreek in
fundamentele basiese dienste - ooglopende bewys hiervan sluit die groot plakkerskampe in en om
stedelike sentrums - en die nie onwaarskynlike toename in voedseltekorte. Daar is geen twyfel dat
die toekoms van stedelike sentrums afhanklik is van die absorpsie van toenemende stedelinge in hul
omgewings-, ekonomiese- en sosiale strukture, en openbare beleid speel 'n kardinale rol in die
suksesvolle verloop van hierdie proses.
Die belang van die bydrae van stedelike landbou tot die rugsteuning van versekering van voedselsekuriteit
in stedelike huishoudings kompliseer beplanning geweldig. Die ruimtelike integtrasie van ons
nedersettings is belangrik; dit het die potensiaal om ekonomiese vaardigheid en sosiale ontwikkeling
te verbeter. Strategieë om ruimte te optimaliseer behoort gekombineer te word met ekonomiese- en
omgewingsprogramme, om sodoende geïntigreerde benaderings tot ontwikkeling te vorm. Stedelike
landbou kan moontlik n katalisator vir verreikende ontwikkelingsprosesse soos plaaslike ekonomiese
ontwikkeling wees, waar minder-bevoorregte gemeenskappe werksversekering en -geleenthede het
en daar ook voedsel-sekuriteit is. Die voorsiening van geleenthede vir stedelike landbou maak dit nie
net moontlik om die behoefte aan voedsel van minder-bevoorregte stedelinge te bevredig nie, maar
verseker ook langdurige, volhoubare stedelike nedersettings.

A situational survey of Siyazondla homestead food production proogramme and food security, poverty alleviation in selected communities of Nkonkobe Local Municipality of the Eastern CapePhezisa, Bulelani January 2016 (has links)
People living in rural areas are continually losing their value, dignity, ubuntu and rural nature of livelihood. Agriculture in these areas characterises the nature of rural livelihood. Traditionally, people living in rural areas were highly dependent on their production from gardens for food, income (barter exchange), and other social activities. Nowadays, that motive and interest is no longer operating at its full potential, so to revive that history and nature, household (homestead) production, certain programmes were introduced to greatly improved the standard of living of the poor, and it has proved to have an impact as it has generated income, and created food stability and employment through the project. Home gardens are there and can be used as the method and the strategy toward improvement and development of the people around the world, more especial to developing countries. Certain programmes that are initiated for acting against the challenges faced by rural people have failed to materialise and operate on their fully potential. The Siyazondla homestead food production programme is the one of the programmes practiced by the government of South Africa to act against such challenges, affecting especially poor people. This study was aimed at assessing the role of Siyazondla homestead food production programme in food security and poverty alleviation in selected communities of Nkonkobe local municipality of the Eastern Cape. It took the form of a case study in Msobomvu, Ngcothoyi and Binfield locations. The Nkonkobe local municipality is demarcated into five major areas: Middledrift, Alice, Seymour, Fort Beaufort and Balfour. The study sample was collected from beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of the Siyazondla programme. The sample size was 90 respondents, from which in one area, a 15 beneficiaries and anticipated non- beneficiaries were targeted. The target sample from each village was collected from 15 beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries. Many farmers from the study area benefited from the programme, though a limited number was targeted. Therefore, a probability sampling was applied and employed, where there were more than required number of beneficiaries of the programme and anticipated beneficiaries of the programme. The study was effectively and efficiently carried out and achieved with the use of personal interviewing of the recipients by use of questionnaires. The study was analysed by a computerised programme of analyses called SPSS v.2.1 and excel. The objectives of the study based on food security, poverty alleviation and reduction, and also improving nutritious status. The finding of the research clearly indicates the outcome of the programme on livelihood basis of the beneficiaries. Some of the objectives of the programme were achieved, such as food security and nutritious levels, whilst other objectives had shortcomings. The finding of the study also shows that programme, though had original benefits but also there are the anticipated and probable benefits of the programme Siyazondla, such as income, skill of farming, improving social status, and there are some possibilities when the programme is properly implemented. Though the majority of people are concentrated in rural areas, the programme on its own had shortcoming to meet needs of the whole population, as food insecurity, unemployment and poverty are taking its course. The programme on its own had shortcoming such as lack of adequate resource and as results, very few people benefited from the programme. Another shortcoming of the programme is the effectiveness of agricultural extension personnel to certain aspect such as marketing of farmers produce and proper monitoring and evaluation of the programme. Therefore, in the long run programmes of this nature are promising, there will be some development and improvement toward growth and better standards of livelihood. It is through this study that had to assess the structure, procedure, strategies implemented of the programme and impact of the programme to both beneficiaries and anticipated beneficiaries of the programme.
