dc.description.abstract | Food production and food security are the most important aspects of sustainable human
development. Indeed one cannot maintain good health without food quality and
security. Although people living in the city of Nairobi may not have adequate land for
farming, it is still possible for some of the residents to carry out farming activities
successfully. Furthermore, urban farming contributes a great deal to the health of urban
population due to the freshness of the foods produced and ready accessibility of that
food to those who demand it. This paper discusses some of strategies that need to be
put in place to ensure sustainable food production in Nairobi, as this would supplement
the amount of food produced in the rural areas and sold to Nairobi residents. The
attitude that food can be produced in the rural areas ought to be discarded. The paper
also discusses the linkage between sanitation and food security in the urban area. In
addition, the paper gives some suggestions on mechanisms of increasing food
production in Nairobi. | en |
