After an intensification of climate change following industrial revolutions with impacts on the social, economic and environmental spheres of human development, issues related to food security have emerged mainly in urban centers. There is a progressive population growth in cities; transporting food from rural areas to urban centers presents difficulties, and there is insufficient space to continue using current production systems in agricultural areas. In this context, this article proposes a literature review aiming to expose the contributions of urban agriculture for the promotion of food security in the context of climate change. Since the increase of pests and diseases motivated by climate changes decreases the nutritional quality of agriculture production, urban agriculture is a more sustainable method that uses city gardens to ensure the access to food in sufficient quantity and quality for the development of a certain urban population, mainly in under-developed countries, thereby cooperating for food security. |
