Does anyone have any interesting information on Urban Agriculture?

Answer 1

Hmmm urban agriculture, do you mean like market gardens? or agriculture to supply urban areas? What type of areas are you interested in? :) .. and come to think of it, which country hehe

Answer 2

Urban agriculture in addition can also involve animal husbandry, aquaculture, agro-forestry and horticulture. These activities also occur in peri-urban areas as well.
50% of the world's population lives in cities.
Low income urban dwellers spend between 40% and 60% of their income on food each year.

Answer 3

90 percent of urban people do not bother about urban agriculture ... i guess that is interesting enough ... :D

Answer 4

Urban agriculture as in growing food in a major city. I'm interested as to whether or not it can be done on a large scale. If so, what are the options? I'm aware that there are ideas of vertical growing (growing things in say a building, since land in a city is expensive and becoming more and more scarce), and backyard gardens, but what else?

Answer 5

Oh I see, interesting, I haven't really come across this idea before. There is always hydroponics (you can grow fish in the water and lettuce on top with the fish poop feeding the lettuce). I have heard of mushrooms being grown underground (as they do not need light), I think some people are using this idea. You can also buy a box of mushrooms that grow on there own. You could also have gardens on the tops of buildings however I'm not sure how economically viable these ideas are, however I have vague memories of a mushroom farm under a city.
