dc.description.abstract | Health risks from food production in urban areas are attracting increased international
attention, especially in poor countries with rapid urbanization where urban
farming is widely practiced to mitigate hunger and poor nutrition as well as reduce
food expenditures. This study examines a selected range of health risks as compared
to the benefits for an urban population for which a considerable quantity of background
data are available, namely Nakuru municipality in Kenya. The research was carried out in conjunction with a related survey of crop-livestock-waste interactions in the same town, described in the previous chapter. | en |
