Cutting-Edge Strategies and Effective Guideline for Urban Agriculture

Urban farming is increasingly recognized as a key strategy for enhancing food security, managing environmental issues, and fostering socio-economic growth in cities. This paper reviews existing research, identifies trends, highlights gaps, and suggests future directions to improve urban farming practices. We begin with an analysis of historical studies on urban agriculture and evaluate food accessibility using USDA standards. The study also examines how Multi-Criteria Analysis and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be integrated to enhance urban farming. By exploring the synergies and applications of these tools, the study aims to develop guidelines for identifying optimal areas for urban agriculture based on various criteria. Utilizing spatial data and rigorous analytical methods, our research seeks to provide valuable insights to optimize urban farming, promoting a shift towards more sustainable and inclusive urban development.
