Example Grants

Sponsor: International Development Research Centre (IDRC)Deadline: January 31, 2005Upper Amount: $20,000Eligibility: AGROPOLIS is intended primarily for researchers from developing countries, including those studying in a developed country and returning to the south after their studies.

Abstract: In countries throughout the developing word, millions of men and women are now farming in cities. People are growing crops on unused land by the roadsides, raising animals in abandoned buildings, and recycling organic wastes into compost. The potential benefits of urban agriculture are considerable, but there are many obstacles to overcome. The AGROPOLIS program has been established to help address these issues.
