| Abstract:
Urban food production through urban agriculture is becoming part of urban develoment for a variety of reasons. There is increased production in periurban areas of cities in the developing countries. Many large cities took up the policy to produce food within the cities. Recycling of waste water for aquaculture is being practised. There are potentials on rooftops, home gardens etc. In the future, urban agri-horti-aquaculture could be incorporated in design of the cities for ecological, aesthetics, functional, economic and environmental benefits. | |
