Abstract

Currently, urban cultivation has been consolidated as an essential subsistence strategy. Urban Agriculture (UA) and urban gardens have been consolidated as essential practices for the sustainable development of cities, especially in a scenario of population growth, food insecurity and climate environmental crisis. Defined as the cultivation of food in or around urban (peri-urban) areas, UA encompasses everything from community gardens and productive backyards to technological systems such as hydroponics and green roofs. It can be practiced either on a small scale, by families or individuals, or on a larger scale, with the involvement of cooperatives and community organizations. This type of agriculture involves the production of a variety of food products, such as vegetables, vegetables, fruits, and in some cases, even animal-based proteins, such as eggs and fish.
