Strategic Analysis of Urban and Peri-urban Agriculture in Asia: Issues, Potential and Challenges
Abstract About 43 % of Asians lived in urban areas in 2010 and with an accelerating urbanization rate (about 2 % per year; 2005–2010), Asia is expected to become 50 % urbanized by 2020–2025. By mid-century, Asia is projected to see its urban population increase by another 1.8 billion. This urban population explosion in Asia, mainly in developing countries, has posed severe challenges for town planners as well as researchers. Growing urban food requirements, increased city waste and effluent production, and environmental degradation are some of those challenges. The size of a city should at least closely match the supply of food it is able to procure. In Asian metros, where most of the urban growth has concentrated, procurement of food—especially fresh, perishable products—is becoming increasingly difficult. To strategically analyze urban/peri-urban agriculture in Asian cities, this chapter highlights some key issues, potentials, and challenges in this context.
