This Walking Debate sought to build on experiences of Kenyan urban communities in their struggles for access to food and improved livelihoods. The first segment in the informal settlement of Mathare exposed participants to opportunities as well as struggles of undertaking urban farming, satisfying energy demands for cooking, and making a sufficing income from farming. In the second part at Karura forest, participants discussed contestations of urban green spaces (between privatisation of prime lands versus conservation for greater common good) in relation to job creation, fuel wood provision, leisure as well as biodiversity preservation.
