• Unplanned and informal, often illegal settlements
• Inefficient infrastructure (water supply, energy supply, waste disposal, sewage)
• Pollution from urban wastes (household, industrial, traffic)
• Increased level of urban food insecurity and malnutrition
• Increasing urban poverty, accompanied by a widening income gap
Consequences of rapid urban growth

Who are urban agriculturalists?
• Migrants from rural areas
• Refugees
• Vulnerable groups in need of a social security strategy
• People with limited formal education

Research goals and methodological approach
• Typology and classification based on satellite images and a (socio-economic) baseline-survey in six cities
• Measurement of matter fluxes (C, N, P, K balances)• Environmental effects and product quality
Multi-stepapproach
GoalsIncrease resource use efficiency based on process-oriented research on the functioning of (peri-) urban agriculture, matter fluxes, product contamination and negative externalities

ConclusionsUrban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) canmake an important contribution to supplyingfood and income opportunities to the raidlygrowing urban populations of developingcountries, but its role strongly varies betweenlocations.
• Negative externalities of UPA need careful analysis to derive effectiverecomendations fostering the sustainability of the systems.
• Carbon and nutrient balances strongly vary between and within locations. While N balances are often excessively possitive leading to N losses via volatilisation, C-balances heavily depend on the use of manure.
• A thorough unterstanding of the biophysical, economic and socialsustainability of UPA systems may also allow us to derive importantconclusions for the farm-level adoption of improved soil fertility managementoptions in the vast rainfed systems across semi-arid Africa and parts of Asia.
