Poor sanitation presents not only risks but also opportunities for urban and periurban agriculture. In many cases farmers accept the risks in anticipation of the benefits, which include low-cost access to waste resources that are rich in nutrients and water. RUAF has a long tradition of carefully examining the interface of agriculture and sanitation. It has analysed case studies, trends and emerging priorities where RUAF partners, like IWMI, and
the RUAF network can play a pivotal role.
