Can Urban Farming Contribute to Solving the Dilemma of Food Security?
Urbanization is increasing rapidly, placing pressure on food supply chains and raising challenges for providing safe, nutritious, and affordable food in cities.
Urban farming plays a vital role in addressing these challenges by enabling local food production, improving food security, and providing income and employment opportunities for vulnerable urban populations.
Initiatives like Schaduf’s rooftop cultivation programs in Cairo demonstrate how urban agriculture can support families, promote self-sufficiency, and make productive use of limited urban space.
