The nitrogen metabolism of growing sub‑Saharan cities and their prospect for shifting from regional sinks to sustainable city region food systems
Urban development trajectories in sub-Saharan Africa are unsustainable. Fast-growing cities constitute nutrient sinks relying on nutrient-poor hinterlands. We propose a pragmatic waste flow assessment providing authorities with a cross-sectoral view of a city’s nutrient sink status. Following a nested approach, we focus on the origin and fate of a city’s...
