Food production out-puts from cities can be significant and since urbanization is on the rise worldwide I would like to learn more specifically what is/are the impact/s of growing food in cities.
At the present time, it may not be significant, but there is huge potential.
There is lot of praise for Cuba meeting a large part of their food requirements from Urban Farming due to isolation and inability to import, but not sure of the reality. In India it is picking up, mainly from a food safety perspective.
Thank you Hamit for sharing those 3 references. I remain optimistic that urban agriculture can offer a lot to fulfill the requirements of producing quality food in the urban environment. Cuba (as Emmanuel pointed out) may be leading the way in this direction by necessity, and I am keeping up with it. I continue to remain interested to learn what is happening with urban agriculture in other countries. Many thanks again!
