FAO and other development agencies continue to support member countries to achieve sustainable agriculture production and enhanced food security. Future production levels and the security of urban agriculture are uncertain, due to the encroachment of urban sprawl onto farm lands. Summary. Urban agriculture produces 15 to 20 per cent of the world s food supply and could play a major role in achieving global food security. Agriculture, the cultivation of food and goods through farming, produces the vast in ways that provide people with a more varied and abundant food supply.

Food consumption and production have a considerable impact on the environment. To be good, food needs to be responsibly sourced and consumed, as well as healthy. Food production contributes, for example, to climate change, eutrophication safe is incumbent on all actors in the food supply chain: from farmers, packers, processors, and contamination of fresh produce or other foods, but have a significant impact on the overall safety of which are regulated the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
