Contribution to Urban Ecology

Crispin Makumbelo El'shie, Sebastien Luyindula Ndiku, Felicien Lukoki Luyeye

A study of the population's reaction to the effects of urban disconnection was conducted in Kinshasa (DR Congo). The households of Kinshasa from 1990-2000, shaken by a multifaceted crisis caused by the effects of the destruction of the economy due to non-compliance with the resolutions of the Sovereign National Conference, the war of liberation and the disrepair of the capital's food supply routes, included urban agricultural production among the solutions to combat the serious health problems of their members. A survey carried out on a sample of 201 plots in the Commune of Limete, with various urban farmers and agricultural support structures, supplemented by a nutritional survey of children aged 0-5 and their mothers, showed that with 19 vegetable species and 47,000 tree stalks of 18 fruit species, this population produced 33.27 tonnes of vegetables and 4,087.00 tonnes of fruit per year.
