NO This document was developed in response to a demand from Brazilian municipalities for conceptual and methodological guidance. The central message of the Urban and Peri-Urban Agriculture (UPA) guide is to highlight the potential of UPA in addressing various urban challenges, recognizing the interconnections between food production and other outcomes in human, social, economic, and environmental domains.The guide outlines six structural steps for building municipal agendas for urban agriculture: i) Mobilize and map strategic actors, ensuring broad participation from civil society and various public stakeholders; ii) Define the scope and prioritize the strategic benefits of UPA; iii) Characterize UPA to visualize diverse range of UPA practices within the territory; iv) Implement instruments to strengthen municipal UPA agendas; v) Create an administrative body to oversee the implementation of the municipal UPA agenda; and vi) Monitor and communicate the results of the UPA agenda.
