<p>High oil prices and bad harvests have led to dramatic increases in food prices and are now</p><p>threatening millions of people in densely populated cities all over the world. To ensure that</p><p>these people will have enough food without compromising the needs of future generations</p><p>will be a demanding task for politicians and decision makers. is paper has shown that</p><p>Havanas urban gardens have increased urban food security since the hunger crisis that</p><p>occurred aer the fall of the Sovjet Union in 1989, and that they support the thesis of Amartya Sen and the Ryerson University. Urban gardens can be a good example for cities how to avoid hunger and famine if they are properly managed. But wrongly handled, they might create a disaster for thousands of poor people.</p>
