Urban agric-ulture is the practice of cultivating, processing and
distributing food in, or around (peri-urban), a village, town or city.
Urban agriculture in addition can also involve animal husbandry,
aquaculture, agro-forestry and horticulture. These activities also occur
in peri-urban areas as well.
Urban farming is generally practised for income-earning or food-producing
activities, though in some communities the main impetus is recreation and
relaxation. Urban agriculture contributes to food security and food safety
in two ways: First, it increases the amount of food available to people
living in cities; and, second, it allows fresh vegetables and fruits and
meat products to be made available to urban consumers. A common and
efficient form of urban agriculture is the biointensive method. Because
urban agriculture promotes energy-saving local food production, urban and
peri-urban agriculture are generally seen as sustainable practices. Social
benefits that have emerged from urban agricultural practices are: better
health and nutrition, increased income, employment, food security within
the household, and community social life. Urban farms can be seen as a
means of improving the livelihood of people living in and around cities.
Urban agricultural facts
50 per cent of the worlds population lives in cities.
800 million people are involved in urban agriculture world-wide and
contribute to feeding urban residents.
