The Future of Urban Clean Water and Sanitation
A livelihood in a risky environment
Global assessment of urban and peri-urban agriculture
The role of urban agriculture in global food security is a topic of increasing discussion. Existing research on urban and peri-urban agriculture consists largely of case studies that frequently use disparate definitions of urban and peri-urban agriculture depending on the local context and study objectives. This lack of consistency makes quantification of the extent of this practice at the global scale difficult. This study instead integrates glo…
Dynamics and sustainability of urban agriculture
Perceptions of farmers on health risks and risk reduction measures in wastewater‐irrigated urban vegetable farming in Ghana
Most irrigation water used in urban vegetable farming in Ghana is contaminated with untreated wastewater. This poses health risks to farmers and consumers. As part of a study to explore options for health risk reduction, this paper summarizes farmers' perceptions on health risks and possible risk reduction measures. Participatory research methods and techniques such as focus group discussions, in‐depth interviews and visualization techniques were…
Influence of urban wastewater on stream water quality and agriculture in and around Kumasi, Ghana
This paper presents some findings from an ongoing International Water Management Institute research project in Ghana on urban wastewater use in agriculture. The paper focuses on the influence of urban wastewater on stream water quality and peri urban agriculture in Kumasi, and aims to develop strategies to reduce environmental pollution and risks from agricultural use of wastewater. It drew on interviews with local authorities, sanitation service…

Population density, soil nutrient depletion, and economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa
Soil Nutrient Depletion and Population Growth in Sub-Saharan Africa
Heavy metal concentrations in urban and periurban soils of Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Dzerzhinsk, and Serpukhov, Russia
The objective of this study was the assessment of the heavy metal status (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in soils of Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Dzerzhinsk, and Serpukhov. The mean concentrations (0–10 cm) except for Co decreased along the line Moscow > Serpukhov > Nizhny Novgorod > Dzerzhinsk. The heavy metal concentrations in the Moscow region were higher than in the Nizhny Novgorod region (including Dzerzhinsk) but lower than e.g., in Berlin, Ha…
