What me fascinates, is that urban agriculture has always been in urban areas. But it has lost connecting in the transformation of modern cities, especially after WW2. Curtrently many urban areas are rediscovering the potential of urban agriculture, not only for achieving food self-sufficiency but also in adding value to the water-energy-waste nexus as well as adaptation to climate change.

La agricultura urbana es una excelente opción para integrar y lograr la convivencia entre vecinos pero debe contar con un manual de convivencia que aclare la distribución de los beneficios no se trata de sembrar en espacio urbano sino compartir un bien común y eso es complejo
it has nothing to do with planning. like a lot of other preferences, attitudes, habits, custom etc. etc. I feel its a waste of time to even think about it. The above mentioned change every so often and are not imposed. It is one aspect of the freedom in urban attitudes, not imposable as "nice".
Of course, you are PARTIALLY right. Let that you are RELEASING varieties for urban areas (Khumaltar varieties : and these are for urban area?). Both works in urban and peri-urban area. Mostly production, adaptation and breeding research are connected at growth centre (rural area) while socioeconomic studies basically in preferences, attitudes and income, expenditure are partially done for consumers of urban By aim also, urban are not suitable for farming and its too expensive for land-base farming. Few farm activities such as kitchen garden, roof-top farming, hydroponics and precious farming are generally partially scared in research. Better is count these issues in studies too.
Urbanity is busy with supplying civilization' which is essential for mankind. This was and is the main reason for urban life. This can only be done and achieved through urbanity.
Agriculture in comparison is a. a minor task in its capacity, and can be solved anywhere, everywhere, by known means. Culture is not that simple.
Outskirts of towns are not urban and that is that.
