Abstract
Urban population growth is driving the expansion of urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) in developing countries. UPA is providing nutritious food to residents but the manures produced by UPA livestock farms and other wastes are not properly recycled. This paper explores the effects of four scenarios: (1) a reference scenario (business as usual), (2) increased urbanization, (3) UPA intensi fi cation, and (4) improved technology, on food-protein self-suf fi ciency, manure nitrogen (N) recycling and balances for four
期刊介绍:
Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (FASE) is an international journal for research on agricultural science and engineering. The journal’s aim is to report advanced and innovative scientific proceedings in agricultural field including Crop Science, Agricultural Biotechnology, Horticulture, Plant Protection, Agricultural Engineering, Forestry Engineering, Agricultural Resources, Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine, Applied Ecology, Forestry and Fisheries. FASE is committed to provide a high level scientific and professional forum for researchers worldwide to publish their original findings and to utilize these novel findings to benefit the society.
