Inclusive innovation seeks to understand how technology can provide benefits for the marginalized groups. However, the role technology might play in inclusive innovation of urban agriculture is not well understood. We review and reflect on the term ‘inclusive innovation’ and its role in providing benefits of technology for the marginalized groups in urban agriculture. Through review of journal articles and grey literature, we find that inclusive innovation projects in urban agriculture address three key problems of different marginalized groups, which include women food entrepreneurs but also other groups: (i) support to marginalized groups to organize into entrepreneur groups to improve their voice and power; (ii) value, document and promote the unique knowledge and innovative practices of marginalized groups in using traditional and scientific knowledge; and (iii) facilitate inclusive business connections for the marginalized groups to sustainably grow their businesses. Overall, there are efforts to use simple technology and innovation like sack gardening and backyard gardening in urban agriculture. However, joint-creation of knowledge with the marginalized groups to design and use such technologies can result in inclusive innovations (viz. products, services, policies) for groups and urban agricultural development.

技术在城市农业包容性创新中的作用

包容性创新旨在了解技术如何为边缘群体提供利益。但是,人们对技术在城市农业的包容性创新中可能扮演的角色的了解还很少。我们回顾并反思“包容性创新”一词及其在为城市农业中的边缘化群体提供技术利益方面的作用。通过对期刊文章和灰色文献的回顾,我们发现城市农业的包容性创新项目解决了不同边缘化群体的三个关键问题,这些问题包括女性食品企业家以及其他群体:(i)支持边缘化群体组织为企业家群体,以提高他们的声音和能力;(ii)价值,记录并促进边缘化群体在使用传统和科学知识方面的独特知识和创新做法;(iii)促进边缘群体的包容性业务联系,以可持续发展其业务。总体而言,人们正在努力在城市农业中使用简单的技术和创新,例如麻袋园艺和后院园艺。但是,与边缘群体共同设计和使用此类技术的知识创造可以为群体和城市农业发展带来包容性创新(即产品,服务,政策)。人们正在努力在城市农业中使用简单的技术和创新,例如麻袋园艺和后院园艺。但是,与边缘群体共同设计和使用此类技术的知识创造可以为群体和城市农业发展带来包容性创新(即产品,服务,政策)。人们正在努力在城市农业中使用简单的技术和创新,例如麻袋园艺和后院园艺。但是,与边缘群体共同设计和使用此类技术的知识创造可以为群体和城市农业发展带来包容性创新(即产品,服务,政策)。
