Abstract

The demand for food is rising quickly along with the world's population. There won't be as much land available for traditional agriculture in urban areas due to the growing population in the upcoming decades. In a sustainable manner, urban agriculture can contribute to supplying the increasing demand for food. The practice of growing food in urban areas is known as urban agriculture. It can be done in alleyways, on vacant lots, on balconies, and even on rooftops. Fruits, vegetables, and herbs are just a few of the crops that can be produced through urban agriculture. It can also lessen stormwater runoff, boost employment, and enhance air quality. Urban agriculture can become more sustainable and efficient with the application of biotechnology. Crops resistant to can be developed using biotechnological tools.
