Description
Innovation is pivotal for sustainable food production and development. Urban areas use and pollute a large share of hydric resources yet exert a high demand for agricultural produce. This might create tensions between different human activities particularly if local water sources must be shared as it’s the case for urban-rural transition areas. However, these potential tensions could also stimulate innovative solutions for efficient resource use. Controlled environment farming, as well as reuse of wastewater for irrigation and/or soil amendment, among other innovative food production systems, may provide a means for more sustainable transition to urban agriculture.
