Farmers, not gardeners: Urban and peri-urban agriculture in La, Accra

This report provides an understanding and insight into the processes behind the reduction of land for UPA and the reasons why this has occurred, using La, located in Eastern Accra, as a case study. La has been subject to a diverse and complex process of rapid urban development over the last decade, which is reducing available land for agriculture. This process is likely to be irreversible and result in the complete disappearance of agricultural land in the near future. La serves as an entry point to understanding issues dealing with land, planning, Value Chain and collective action (CA) related to UPA and those involved in the practice.
