Sustainable Urban and Peri-Urban Agriculture in India- Key Challenges and Potential Solutions for Transitioning to Sustainable Urban Food Systems

Recent global fora such as the United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) have called for promoting sustainable Urban and Peri-Urban Agriculture (UPA) in India, aiming to create an enabling environment for developing a resilient, equitable, and inclusive food system through multi-stakeholder engagement and catalyzing implementation.
