Today, the scale of urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) in Botswana’s urban settlements is still very limited when compared to the intensive agricultural practices found in other southern African cities like Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Lusaka, Harare or Johannesburg. However, in the capital of Gaborone, one of the fastest growing cities in Africa, several agricultural projects have started that are integrated into its urban development. The aim of this article is to provide more details on these new initiatives, using a case study of Glen Valley.
