URBANE: One Health approaches to support agroecological transformation ofperi-urban farming

“URBANE将探索农业实践与健康之间的联系，因为它采用一种健康方法来解决与城郊农业的应用和集约化以及动物、人类和整个生态系统的健康有关的问题。URBANE通过应用农业生态学支持可持续性，从而实现人类，动物和生态系统的更好健康。通过在城市周边环境中实施可持续农业生态实践，URBANE旨在使城市更具可持续性和包容性，同时提高位于城市周边环境中的小规模粮食生产者的生产力。该项目在新技术和最佳做法的支持下，以当地知识为基础，促进生态农业。将利用新工具和当地知识为决策提供信息，并产生重大影响。URBANE决策支持系统将以两种形式提供：a）以友好应用程序的形式提供给农民，B）提供给当局，提供关于应用农业生态耕作方法的潜在危险和环境及作物产量影响的信息。根据该项目的结果制定政策建议将支持更广泛地采用城市办法，并有助于实现可持续发展目标、绿色交易和非洲-欧盟伙伴关系目标。

“URBANE will explore the links between farming practices and health as it applies a One Health approach for tackling issues related to the application & intensification of peri-urban agriculture and the health of animals, humans and the ecosystem as a whole. URBANE supports sustainability through applied agroecology, allowing the achievement of better health of humans, animals and the ecosystem in general. Through sustainable agroecological practices in the peri-urban environment, URBANE aims to make cities more sustainable and inclusive, while boosting the productivity of small-scale food producers located in the peri-urban environment. The project promotes agroecology by building on local knowledge with the support of new technologies and the application of best practices. The use of novel tools and the engagement of local knowledge will be used to inform decision making and achieve a high impact. The URBANE decision support system will be delivered in two versions: a) for farmers in the form of a friendly application and b) for authorities providing information on the potential dangers and the environmental and crop yield impact of the application of agroecological farming practices. Formulation of policy recommendations resulting from the project’s results will support the broader adoption of the URBANE approach and help towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goals, Green Deal and Africa-EU Partnership goals.”
