Strategic Plan for Urban Agriculture of Villa María del Triunfo (2007-2011)
The Strategic Plan for Urban Agriculture of Villa María del Triunfo (2007-2011) was the result of a multi-stakeholder participatory process, carried out in the town of Villa María del Triunfo, located in the Metropolitan region of Lima, from which it was sought to develop a strategy to promote and implement measures that collaborate in the process of turning urban agriculture into a priority sector of municipal action to combat poverty. To this end, an Urban Agriculture Forum was convened with representatives of civil society organizations, which was followed by the self-organization of an Urban Farmers Network with more than 500 members. Based on the information and collaborations obtained from these meetings, the first guidelines for a Municipal Urban Agriculture Policy were formulated, then received by resolution of the Municipal Council. Citizen participation spaces continued to be followed by periodic meetings to continue producing innovative recommendations. In this way, the case of Villa Maria del Triunfo became an emblematic case for the state policies of urban agriculture.
