Excerpt:
In Curitiba, the largest city in the country’s south, urban agriculture has proliferated under power lines and in other idle and underutilized sites, connecting people, restoring nature and rewarding industrious citizens with nutritious and affordable food.
“We are recovering these degraded areas and giving them a new purpose – producing food under a system of ecological management,” said Gabriel Dalmazo of Curitiba’s Secretariat for Food and Nutrition Security.
With urbanization proceeding at breakneck speed – more than 4 billion people already live in cities, which are expected to be home to about 7 in every 10 people by 2050 – making urban areas more liveable and resilient is a huge and urgent challenge.
Cities are vulnerable to climate-driven shocks, which, among others, can disrupt food supply chains, sending prices skyrocketing and exacerbating food waste. About 1.7 billion food-insecure people – three-quarters of the global total – already live in cities.
To help cities around the world adapt, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is implementing the Generation Restoration project to help them assess, restore and protect urban ecosystems, by integrating them into their planning and development processes.
