Urban agriculture: a global analysis of the space constraint to meet urban vegetable demand (2014, background): “The limited evidence, which is often qualitative and sometimes anecdotal, suggests that UA is currently an important reality for many households, particularly in developing countries (FAO 2010, Zezza and Tasciotti 2010).”
Global assessment of urban and peri-urban agriculture: irrigated and rainfed croplands (2014, methodology): “An analysis by Zezza et al [10] of the Rural Income Generating Activities (RIGA) database provides some initial insight into the scale of this practice developed using a consistent methodology.”
Shortening food supply chains: A means for maintaining agriculture close to urban areas? The case of the French metropolitan area of Paris ☆ (2013, background): “The lack of reliable data used to orientate policy, especially on urban agriculture in developing countries (Zezza and Tasciotti, 2010), is equally noteworthy and is highly regrettable in industrialized countries.”
The occupation of cropland by global urban expansion from 1992 to 2016 and its implications (2020, background): “In the future, the diversity of crops and the effects of land use policies should be considered to comprehensively examine the impacts of cropland displacement on food production and implications for global sustainability (Zezza and Tasciotti 2010, van Vliet 2019).”
Rising Food Prices and Undernourishment - A Cross-Country Inquiry (2013, result): “Consistent with the evidence presented in (Zezza and Tasciotti, 2010), Table 4 shows that Malawi, which displays the highest impact of agricultural land is also the country in our sample with the highest share of agriculture on urban household income: 12%.”
Agricultural Production, Dietary Diversity and Climate Variability (2014, positive): “In their study of 15 developing countries, Zezza and Tasciotti (2010) find that urban agriculture does appear to be associated with greater dietary diversity and calorie availability after controlling for economic welfare and a set of household characteristics.”
Farm-Level Pathways to Improved Nutritional Status: Introduction to the Special Issue (2015, background): “Looking at urban agriculture, Zezza and Tasciotti (2010) find that the production of crop and livestock goods within cities and towns is positively associated with greater dietary diversity and calorie availability suggesting that what urban households produce has a direct effect on nutrition.”
Agricultural Land Conversion, Land Economic Value, and Sustainable Agriculture: A Case Study in East Java, Indonesia (2018, background): “Peri-urban agriculture can improve the condition of the environment by mitigating the urban heat effect and reducing flood risk [12,13], creating green outdoor spaces for the urban population [14–16] and a source of income, especially for the poor [17,18].”
Introduction: critical perspectives on food sovereignty (2014, background): “(4) The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimates that urban agriculture helps to feed up to 800 million city dwellers – mostly in the poorest quintile (FAO 2002; Zezza and Tasciotti 2010).”
Urban agriculture in the developing world: a review (2013, methodology): “As a matter of fact the amount of quantitative work on urban agriculture that has been published is limited (Zezza and Tasciotti 2010), and one substantial strand of the literature on urban agriculture is driven by an advocacy objective, more than by analytical rigor (Ellis and Sumberg, 1998).”
