Is the SPFS production-enhancing aspect implemented in rural areas only?
No, urban and peri-urban agriculture are also included. These areas have expanded rapidly in many developing countries and contribute significantly to feeding cities and making affordable fresh food available to the urban poor. The SPFS offers advantages and opportunities, such as using under-utilized lands, treated wastewater, recycled waste and other under-utilized resources. It is also a source of employment and income for women and for the less endowed section of the urban population.
