Bandung has a remarkably vibrant urban agricultural sphere with strong municipal support, which was highlighted as a global best practice by the Milan Urban Food Pact.
The municipal policy supports local urban agricultural groups with multiple aims while drawing on local cultural practices:
- provision of sustainable & healthy food
- localization of food production
- income generation
In this presentation, Geminlang Lara Utama delves into the possibilities and limitations of this approach, drawing especially on the example of Bandung's Living Lab on urban agriculture.
