It is well established that urban community gardens (UCGs) can either challenge or reinforce neoliberal urbanism. This duality is especially evident among UCGs that sell garden harvests for income generation. In this article I therefore examine UCGs in low-income areas of Cape Town, South Africa, to understand how they might sell their harvests while countering the neoliberal food system in cities of the global South. I draw on qualitative fieldwork, including observations and semi-structured interviews with UCG representatives and civil society actors. Most harvests are currently sold to high-end venues through intermediary actors in civil society organizations (CSOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). However, this approach disregards the local community's socioeconomic conditions and undermines community gardens’ nutritional objectives. Yet, under specific scenarios, the sale of garden harvests could mitigate the persistent food injustice in Cape Town's low-income areas. In this article I introduce a model for harvest sales that advances sustainable urban agriculture and fosters food justice in neoliberal cities in the global South.

培育粮食正义：Covid-19 后低收入开普敦的可持续城市农业重新定义收获销售

众所周知，城市社区花园（UCG）可以挑战或加强新自由主义城市主义。这种二元性在出售花园收获物以创收的城市地下集团中尤其明显。因此，在本文中，我研究了南非开普敦低收入地区的 UCG，以了解他们如何出售自己的收获，同时对抗南半球城市的新自由主义粮食体系。我利用定性实地调查，包括观察以及对 UCG 代表和民间社会参与者的半结构化访谈。目前，大多数收获物通过民间社会组织（CSO）和非政府组织（NGO）的中介机构出售给高端场所。然而，这种方法忽视了当地社区的社会经济条件，破坏了社区花园的营养目标。然而，在特定情况下，出售花园收成可以缓解开普敦低收入地区持续存在的粮食不公平现象。在本文中，我介绍了一种收获销售模型，该模型可促进可持续城市农业并促进南半球新自由主义城市的粮食正义。
