"Urban agriculture (UA) and peri-urban agriculture can be defined as the growing, processing, and distribution of food and other products through plant cultivation and seldom raising livestock in and around cities for feeding local populations. Over the last few years, UA has increased in popularity due to concerns about climate change and sustaining food security in urban areas. The effects of climate change has induced crop reduction and affected optimal environmental growing conditions through rising temperatures and changes in rainfall patterns. Increasing urban food desserts in many parts of the world has motivated the improvement of methods of UA in order to complement urban food needs.
