农业凭借其经济、社会和生态功能，具有实现第十一个可持续发展目标（SDG）部分具体目标的潜力。这些目标包括：a) 减少城市对环境的不利影响（目标 11.6），b) 提供绿色空间（目标 11.7），以及 c) 提高城市资源利用效率（目标 11b）。然而，由于快速且不受控制的城市化，城市，尤其是南半球的城市，正在努力维持农业。在土地日益稀缺的时代，如何在城市及其周边地区维持（周边）城市农业在传统文献中尚不清楚。在这方面，本研究旨在确定全球范围内适当的做法，以促进城市和圈内农业的维持，并确定其对加纳环境的适用性。尽管加纳仍然是讨论的焦点，但撒哈拉以南非洲城市的普遍特征使得这些做法对撒哈拉以南非洲地区有用。该研究通过文献综述，从 Scopus、PubMed、MeSH 和 ProQuest 等数据库中获取了所需数据。作者用机构网站和在线媒体出版物等灰色来源的文献补充了这些传统来源的文献。文献综述的结果表明，容器园艺、后院园艺以及空地和边际土地上的耕作是保护城市农业的关键。然而，这些模型更适合蔬菜和香草的生产。因此，城市和圈内农业可能集中于草药和蔬菜的生产，以补充农村农业的粮食供应。购买发展权以及征用和划分城内农业用地似乎是促进城内农业土地获取的重要战略。这些战略要求修订城市立法和土地使用规划流程，以使城市及其周边地区的农业合法化并促进农业发展。
Agriculture, through its economic, social and ecological functions, presents potentials for meeting some of the targets of the 11th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). The targets include: a) reducing the adverse environmental impact of cities (target 11.6), b) providing access to green spaces (target 11.7) and c) promoting resource use efficiency in cities (target 11b). Nevertheless, cities, especially those in the global south, are struggling to sustain agriculture due to rapid and uncontrolled urbanisation. How to maintain (peri) urban agriculture in cities and their peripheries in an era of increasing land scarcity is unclear in the conventional literature. In this regard, this study set out to determine appropriate practices globally that can foster the sustenance of urban and pen-urban agriculture and determine their applicability to the Ghanaian context. Even though Ghana remains the focus of the discussion, the generality of the characteristics of the cities in Sub-Saharan Africa makes the practices useful to Sub-Saharan African region. The study obtained the required data, through a review of literature, from databases such as Scopus, PubMed, MeSH and ProQuest. The authors complemented the literature from these conventional sources with literature from grey sources such as institutional websites and online media publications. The results of the literature review show that container gardening, backyard gardening, and farming on vacant lands and marginal lands can hold the key to preserving agriculture within the cities. However, these models are more appropriate for the production of vegetables and herbs. Therefore, urban and pen-urban agriculture may concentrate on the production of herbs and vegetables, to complement the food supply from rural agriculture. The Purchase of Development Right and expropriation and zoning of pen-urban land for agricultural purposes appear to be important strategies for promoting access to land for pen-urban agriculture. The strategies call for revisions of city legislation and the land use planning process to legitimise and promote agriculture in cities and their peripheries.
