Abstract

As urbanization and the urban population continue to increase globally, issues such as rising costs of food access, debates on food security, and the sustainability of cities have become prominent. Agricultural activities applied within and near cities have gained importance. Defined by terms such as urban agriculture or city farming, these agricultural practices, as understood from conceptualizations, involve the cultivation, processing, and distribution of food and other products through plant cultivation and animal husbandry in cities and their surroundings.
