Urban farming
« Rapid urban growth in the developing world is placing increasing strain on urban food supply systems. Agriculture, which includes horticulture, livestock raising, fisheries, forestry, and the production of milk and fodder, is expanding within and around cities. Urban agriculture provides fresh food, generates employment, recycles urban waste, creates green belts, and strengthens cities’ resilience to climate change. » — Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
