摘要

全球粮食价格上涨重新激发了对粮食生产创新战略的投资,包括城市和城郊农业。不幸的是,不受控制的城市化严重影响了发展中国家城郊地区的粮食生产。本研究在Wa市进行,旨在研究城郊农业用地变化对农民粮食安全的影响。采用混合调查方法对235名小农进行调查。使用地理信息系统(GIS)收集问卷调查、访谈和历史信息来收集数据。结果表明,在过去的30年里,由于住宅和基础设施的发展,佤族城郊的农业用地急剧减少,其空间被城市发展所占用。该研究还发现,农业土地利用的变化导致粮食不安全,因为大多数小农在过去十年中无法满足其粮食需求。讨论了本研究的现实意义和政策意义。

‘Urban expansion and agricultural land use change in Ghana: Implications for peri-urban farmer household food security in Wa Municipality’
ABSTRACT Food price hikes globally re-energised investment in innovative strategies of food production including urban and peri-urban agriculture. Unfortunately, uncontrolled urbanisation have impacted gravely on food production in peri-urban areas in developing countries. This study was conducted in the Wa Municipalityto examine how peri-urban agricultural land use change impact on food security of farmers. A mixed methods study of inquiry with 235 smallholder farmers were used for the study. Questionnaires, interviews and historical information captured using the Geographic Information System (GIS) were used to collect the data. The results revealed that, hectares of agricultural land in peri-urban Wa over the last three decades has drastically lost its space to urban development through residentuial and infrastructural development. The study also found that agricultural land use change has resulted in food insecurity as the majority of the smallholder farmers were unable to meet their food needs over the last decade. The practical and policy implication of the study are discussed.

期刊介绍: International Journal of Urban Sustainable Development aims to provide a forum for cutting-edge research and rigorous debate for an in-depth and holistic understanding of the complex inter-related environmental, social, economic, political, spatial, institutional and physical challenges facing urban areas. Its premise is that multi-disciplinary approaches provide the space for the range of disciplines and perspectives related to the full breadth of issues that affect urban sustainable development.
