Urban agriculture.

- Abstract
This paper has attempted to outline and account for the discrepancy between the literature and empirical findings linked to the environmental and ecological benefits of UA. Having done so, it is not calling for an empiricist approach, it does not necessarily take an anti-development stance nor is it against UA. It simply makes a plea that UA be understood in terms of those who practise it. Such an understanding would necessarily include theory and a specific view of development. It is hoped that it would also generate a discourse more in line with the practice, views and aspirations of the cultivators themselves.
