Modelling the Benefits and Impacts of Urban Agriculture: Employment, Economy of Scale and Carbon Dioxide Emissions

Arun Kafle et al.

Summary: This paper examines the potential of Urban Agriculture (UA) in Adelaide, South Australia and Kathmandu Valley, Nepal based on information from forty distinct locations. The study uses modelling to estimate employment, scale appropriateness, and earnings compared to labour use from commercial urban farming and gardening style UA. The findings suggest that scale-appropriate UA practices with better labour productivity and economic and social advantage can be achieved through the interplay between labour use and mechanisation.

Exploring Conventional Economic Viability as a Potential Barrier to Scalable Urban Agriculture: Examples from Two Divergent Development Contexts

Arun Kafle et al.

Summary: Urban Agriculture (UA) is a widespread practice of food production within cities. The economic viability of UA depends on factors such as land and labor costs. This study analyzes these costs and calculates the margin and benefit-cost ratio for different UA scenarios in Adelaide, Australia and Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. The results show that high-value crops have the potential to make UA economically viable in Adelaide, but low-value crop scenarios are less likely to succeed in both locations. Land cost is identified as the primary driver of UA cost, while labor cost is a critical difference between the two cities, affecting the economic viability in Adelaide where the wage rate is high. To improve economic viability, governments and planners should consider providing subsidised land and labor arrangements. Home food gardens with access to available land and labor as spare time activities may represent the best way to produce food in cities without exceeding market costs.

Promoting Urban Agriculture and Its Opportunities and Challenges-A Global Review

Chethika Gunasiri Wadumestrige Dona et al.

Summary: Academic studies indicate that urban agriculture in developed countries focuses more on social, health, and educational benefits, while developing countries are more concerned with economic and ecological needs. Research tends to favor the exploration of community gardens in developed countries, with less attention paid to the challenges, beneficiary groups, and government support for urban agriculture.
