| 520 | _aConsiders the practice of urban agriculture in the Gaza strip, especially in terms of the pressures on scarce water supplies. Finds that farmers are willing to use treated effluent water. Although urban agriculture is widespread in the Gaza Strip, planning for urban agriculture is almost non-existent, and it seems to have been neglected by water providing institutions. Farm profit analysis shows that urban agriculture principles have failed and should be reconsidered. Suggests that planners should promote urban agriculture and eco-sanitation in parallel to save potable water for domestic purposes - a key tool for alleviating poverty - and should initiate a new link between urban planning and the protection of precious water resources. Recommends implementing a policy to ensure waste is recycled and used sustainably for urban agriculture. | ||
