      abstract = {Access to debt financing (credit) is crucial to the  development of urban agricultural  production, processing  and marketing activities. This chapter is based on a 2009  study 1 carried out in Accra to assess the practices of  institutions and programs that could finance  urban  agriculture as well as the existing bottlenecks and  opportunities in financing.  Information is based on  surveys involving 179 respondents sampled from financial  institutions; urban farmers (not limited to vegetable  farmers), traders and processors; literature reviews,  stakeholder mapping; focus group discussions; key informant  interviews; and a validation workshop.},
