Leah Penniman, co-director of Soul Fire Farm, an urban growing collective based in Petersburg, New York, said the fall in the number of Black farmers reflected decades of discrimination and a backlash over an estimated 16 million acres (6.5 million hectares) of land they owned in 1910.

“Racism and white supremacy are really built into the DNA of the U.S. food system,” said Penniman, author of a book called “Farming While Black”.

One 46-year old Rajesh Tiwari, a postgraduate in political science from Tilkamanjhi Bhagalpu University (TMBU), who used to grow ornamental flowers and seasonal flowers on his rooftop garden since 1988, now grows green vegetables like bitter gourd (karela), tomatoes and cherry tomatoes, okra (bhindi), ridged gourd, brinjals, french beans, pumpkins etc on the 2000 square feet rooftop.

As Covid-19 cases started increasing, the thought of growing vegetables and fulfilling our daily needs came during the lockdown. This rooftop farming also plays a significant role in environment management and enhances the deteriorating quality of air while providing organic and fertilizer-free produce.,” said Rajesh, who works in a private company.

The mid-summer changes reduce some of the barriers that have prevented many urban growers from using city water for much of the season.

The previous rules, introduced in the winter, made it so community gardens were required to pay hundreds of dollars for the equipment and installation necessary to apply for a permit to tap into the hydrants.

Excerpt:

In Urban areas, people rely on casual labor as their main source of income but the same share (1 out of 4 dwellers) also depends on growing and selling food crops, a new study has revealed.

With 47% of Ugandan households depending on agriculture to survive including urban areas where people equally rely on crop farming, civil societies and food rights activities have said, the data should inform government’s decision on policies to support urban farming.

According the activists, urban households rely significantly on agriculture for their income and food security, suggesting that urban agriculture is a vital area for support.
