dc.description.abstract | Renewed interest in the nexus between sustainability and food security has led to growing
discussions on the use of food sovereignty principles in agricultural practice. As a result of the
transfiguration of the urban and socioeconomic landscape in the global South, urban and peri-urban
agriculture has been touted as a potential response to increasing food insecurity in cities. Yet,
both urban and peri-urban agriculture and food sovereignty have attracted cursory scholarship
and programming in Zimbabwe due to fixation on more dominant rural and conventional agriculture.
Beyond the rudimentary idea that the urban landscape is unfit for food production, literature has
demonstrated that urban households have ingrained urban and peri-urban agriculture into their
livelihoods. Regardless, institutional arrangements governing the practice remain ambivalent towards
the practice, bringing to question the ability of households to fully exploit the benefits of the practice.
This review underscores that failure to involve of all stakeholders undermines urban and peri-urban
agriculture, consequently leading to heightened food insecurity and use of unsustainable practices.
By delving into the political economy of food, we hope to stimulate discussion centered on food
sovereignty within and urban spaces and beyond. | en_ZW |
