“While not overstating the benefits, urban agriculture clearly has a role to play in achieving food security, urban sustainability, and fostering environmental stewardship,” says PhD candidate Hannah Thwaites, lead author of the study.
“We argue that more widespread and sustainable urban agriculture can help to address key issues of hunger, urbanisation, and finite resources to positively support people and the planet.”
The Flinders and University of Adelaide research found that growing food within urban areas from backyard scale and beyond can directly help to meet the 2030 completion of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, in particular Zero Hunger (SDG 2), Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11) and Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12).
Applied effectively, urban agriculture also can help multiple targets sitting under a further nine of the 17 SDGs – Zero Poverty (SDG 1), Good Health and Wellbeing (SDG3), Quality Education (SDG 4), Gender Equality (SDG 5), Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG 6), Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8), Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10), Climate Action (SDG 13) and Life on Land (SDG 15).
Urban food production can occur in, around, under and on top of infrastructure – on private and public land – for consumption, distribution and sale.
