Urban agriculture could play a key role in addressing challenges to global food security as the world population grows and urbanization increases, experts and officials said at a conference in Chengdu, Sichuan province, on Saturday.
“In times of demographic change, rapidly increasing repercussions of climate change and of complicated geopolitical tensions, the global food system that feeds us all is under threat from multiple directions,” said Julian Lasinger, German deputy consul general in Chengdu, noting that new approaches in agriculture and food production are urgently needed.
He made the remarks while addressing the Sino-German Conference on Innovative Approaches for Agriculture and Food Systems held in the Sichuan capital.
Lasinger said both China and Germany are projected to have 80 percent of their population living in cities by 2050, but only 15 to 20 percent of their food is currently produced in urban areas, which could pose a significant challenge to food security for urban populations.
“The German Federal Government supports joint efforts of sustainable agricultural innovation, including in urban agriculture,” he said, adding that an increasing amount of food could be sourced from urban areas in the future as technological innovation and research pilots continue to drive the development of urban agriculture.
In her report, German urban agriculture expert Katrin Bohn introduced the concept of the Continuous Productive Urban Landscape, which involves integrating urban agriculture into the design and planning process of cities to enhance urban sustainability.
