| | Farming in the City of Nairobi: International Development Research Centre (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) |
 | | The purpose of this paper is to describe urban farming in Nairobi in all its aspects: its magnitude, its characteristics, its importance for those involved, the constraints faced by the farmers, its impact on the environment, the legal and institutional setting, as well as its prospects. |
 | | Not only in the low-income areas, but in Nairobi generally, the land on which the plots are located is in most cases public land (Table 1). |
 | | The importance of the two crops for the low-income strata of the Nairobi population is clearly demonstrated in the figures for Korogocho and Pumwani/Eastleigh. |
