Description
Agricultural production systems in transition between rural and urban areas, 'peri-urban agriculture', represent a unique and dynamic mix of agricultural practices. This transitional area is characterized by proximity to urban markets, diverse land use, and a mix of traditional and modern farming practices, opening up opportunities for innovative resource (re)use and economic synergies as well as adapted land use planning related to water resources and urban climate. A first step is to describe, analyze and explain the changing resources along the urban-rural continuum. Gradients such as population density, infrastructure, land value and natural resource availability, with their complexity and interdependencies, pose a challenge to realizing a sustainable transition of peri-urban agri-food systems.

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.

Description
Population growth as well as climate and land use change have affected water and food security, and therefore the wellbeing and livelihoods of millions of people. The identification of effective approaches to address these challenges requires a socio-hydrological understanding of the different conditions along the rural-urban continuum. Integrating the perceptions of local communities and assessing livelihood, food and water security impacts of technical solutions can help to develop tailored, sustainable solutions for water management and agricultural production that can alleviate the impacts of climate and land use change.
