About [Edit]

This paper explores the major issues arising from urban and peri-urban agriculture which are central to FAO's mandate in member countries. They are how to:

· provide adequate access to nutritious food for the growing urban populations of the developing world;
· efficiently integrate urban and peri-urban agriculture with rural agriculture (in general they are not substitutes for each other);
· develop land and water policies that account for agricultural production in urban and peri-urban areas; and
· guide dynamic agricultural practices within and outside cities towards sustainability goals (economic, social, and environmental).
