Excerpt:
Urban agriculture has immense scope in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir as it can create income and employment opportunities for the urban poor people. Keeping the scope of urban agriculture in view, there is need to create awareness on urban agriculture among the urban and peri-urban people of J&K.Urban agriculture is different than urban jobs that require travelling to the town centre and industrial area.
Urban agriculture may take place inside the cities (intra-urban) or in the peri-urban areas. Urban agriculture is possible on the homeland or on land away from the residence, on private land or on public land (parks, conservation areas, along roads, streams and railways), or semi-public land (school yards, grounds of schools and hospitals).
By urban agriculture food products from different types of crops and animals as well as non-food products like aromatic and medicinal herbs, ornamental plants, tree products etc. or combinations of these can be produced. Production units in urban agriculture in general tend to be more specialized than rural enterprises. Urban agriculture includes agricultural production activities as well as food processing and marketing activities. In urban agriculture, production and marketing tend to be easier in terms of time and space.
