Course Overview
The Urban Agriculture & Food Security Programmes course equips participants with the strategic, technical, and policy skills required to design, implement, and scale urban and peri-urban agriculture initiatives that enhance food security, nutrition, livelihoods, and climate resilience. The programme recognises the rapid growth of cities, rising food prices, urban poverty, and supply-chain vulnerabilities, and positions urban agriculture as a critical component of sustainable urban food systems. The course integrates urban planning, food security analysis, climate-smart production, inclusive livelihoods, and policy design. It aligns with Agenda 2063, the SDGs (especially SDGs 2, 11, and 13), the New Urban Agenda, CAADP, and national food and urban development strategies. Participants gain practical experience in designing urban agriculture programmes, strengthening market and nutrition linkages, and embedding food systems thinking into urban governance.
