Abstract

In recent decades, rapid urbanization in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has significantly affected agrifood systems and agricultural development. Innovations in transportation, storage, and value chains, as well as the expansion of nonfarm sectors, have transformed rural communities and reshaped agricultural production patterns. This review revisits the evolving link between cities and agriculture in LMICs, drawing on key theoretical frameworks and recent empirical findings. Three major pathways determining the interaction between urban centers and agricultural development emerge. First, transportation costs and access to urban markets continue to influence agricultural decision-making. Second, changing consumer preferences following urbanization and growing integration into global agrifood value chains drive lasting changes in local farming systems. Third, the expansion of urban nonfarm labor markets is shifting labor away from farms, with uncertain consequences for agricultural development. As a result, the empirical evidence is often context specific.
城市与农业发展
近几十年来,低收入和中等收入国家(LMICs)的快速城市化对农业粮食系统和农业发展产生了重大影响。运输、仓储和价值链方面的创新,以及非农部门的扩张,改变了农村社区,重塑了农业生产模式。本文借鉴关键理论框架和最近的实证发现,重新审视了中低收入国家城市与农业之间不断演变的联系。决定城市中心与农业发展之间相互作用的三个主要途径出现了。首先,运输成本和进入城市市场的机会继续影响农业决策。其次,随着城市化和日益融入全球农业食品价值链,消费者偏好不断变化,推动了当地农业系统的持久变化。第三,城市非农劳动力市场的扩张正在将劳动力从农场转移出去,给农业发展带来不确定的后果。因此,经验证据往往是具体情况的。
