Acerca de este libro electrónico

Urban Agriculture Growth explores how cities can enhance food security and environmental sustainability through innovative agricultural practices. As urbanization intensifies, the book examines technologies like rooftop farming, hydroponics, and vertical farming, which are transforming urban spaces into localized food production centers. These methods offer potential benefits such as reduced carbon footprints compared to conventional agriculture and increased community resilience by shortening supply chains.

The book takes a comprehensive approach, beginning with the historical context of urban farming and progressing through detailed analyses of current technologies, environmental impacts, and socioeconomic dimensions. Real-world case studies from cities like New York, Singapore and Amsterdam illustrate the practical applications of urban agriculture, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges.

It emphasizes the importance of integrating urban agriculture into urban planning and promoting environmental sustainability in the face of climate change. By combining scientific literature, case studies, and quantitative data, the book provides a balanced assessment of urban agriculture's potential. It addresses the scalability and economic viability, offering insights valuable to students, researchers, policymakers, and urban planners interested in creating more sustainable and resilient urban food systems.
