Lors de notre micro tendu dans les allées du Salon de l'Agriculture 2022, nous avons interrogé des exposants sur leur regard sur l'agriculture urbaine. Sandrine Dury, chercheuse au CIRAD, évoque l'expérience du centre de recherche en Asie et en Afrique.

Clémentine Calvier's dissertation* published in 2020 explores urban agriculture's potentialities and viability in megacities (i.e. at least 20 millions inhabitants), which are expected to boom in the future as 68% of the world population will live in cities by 2050 (source: FAO). This comes with great challenges that jeopardize planetary boundaries and humans' life quality. Calvier's work aims to identify the best practices, regulations and processes that foster efficient and fair urban agriculture, towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goals at the city level.
