摘要

这项研究审查了内罗毕城市和城郊农业实践的可持续潜力。本研究采用有目的、分层和随机抽样的方法,共抽取149名调查对象。使用频率、平均值和标准差来分析数据。研究结果表明,城市和城郊最流行的做法是堆肥(221)、露天耕作(212)、蔬菜苗圃(155)和各种形式的灌溉(140)。以动物为基础的做法并不是很受欢迎。大多数做法集中在城郊地区。流行的做法并不是最有利可图的。最赚钱的做法是养牛,收入约为65万肯尼亚先令,蘑菇养殖(50万肯尼亚先令),养鸡(50万肯尼亚先令)和水培生产(45万肯尼亚先令)。这些不受欢迎的做法需要昂贵的投入,专业的技术和管理技能以及受控的农业知识共享用户许可:CC by - nc - nd《农业推广杂志》摘要:EBSCOhost,电子期刊服务(EJS), Vol. 25 (1) January, 2021 Google Scholar, Journal Seek, Scientific Commons, ISSN(e): 24086851;ISSN(打印);1119944X粮食及农业组织(粮农组织)、CABI和Scopus http://journal.aesonnigeria.org http://www.ajol.info/index.php/jae http://eoi.citefactor.org/10.11226/v25i1电子邮件:editorinchief@aesonnigeria.org 32生产环境和有效利用资源。这些要求使它们有资格为可持续发展的经济、社会和环境方面作出贡献。有必要从目前流行的、利润较低和对环境不友好的做法(被归类为非受控环境农业做法)转变为受控环境农业做法。这可以通过县政府和其他相关利益相关者向农民提供补贴投入和专业技术和管理技能来实现。这种政策支持下的变化将有助于使用可持续农业实践,确保粮食安全,并有助于城市的可持续粮食系统。

Potential for Sustainable Urban and Peri-Urban Agricultural Practices in Nairobi County
The study examined the sustainable potential of urban and peri-urban agricultural practices in Nairobi. The study employed purposive, stratified and random sampling methods to select 149 respondents. Frequencies, means and standard deviations were used to analyse data. Findings indicate that the most popular urban and peri-urban practices were composting (221), open field farming (212), vegetable nurseries (155) and various forms of irrigation (140). Animal based practices were not found to be very popular. Majority of the practices were concentrated in the peri-urban areas. Popular practices were not found to be the most profitable. The most profitable practices were cattle rearing raising approximately Ksh.650,000, mushroom farming (Ksh.500,000), chicken rearing (Ksh.500,000), and hydroponics production (Ksh.450,000). These unpopular practices required expensive inputs, specialised technological and management skills and a controlled agricultural Creative Commons User License: CC BY-NC-ND Journal of Agricultural Extension Abstracted by: EBSCOhost, Electronic Journals Service (EJS), Vol. 25 (1) January, 2021 Google Scholar, Journal Seek, Scientific Commons, ISSN(e): 24086851; ISSN(Print); 1119944X Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), CABI and Scopus http://journal.aesonnigeria.org http://www.ajol.info/index.php/jae http://eoi.citefactor.org/10.11226/v25i1 Email: editorinchief@aesonnigeria.org 32 environment for production and efficient use of resources. These requirements qualified them to contribute towards the economic, social and environmental aspects of sustainability. There is need for a transformation from the current popular, less profitable and environmentally unfriendly practices categorized as uncontrolled environment agriculture practices to the controlled environment agriculture practices. This can be achieved through the provision of subsidised inputs and specialised technological and management skills to the farmers by the county government and other relevant stakeholders. This change with policy support will contribute to using sustainable agricultural practices that ensure food security and contribute to a sustainable food system in the city.
