Exploring the Emerging Evolution Trends of Urban Agriculture

Urban agriculture is where people raise plants and animals in or near cities to provide the fresh food they need and earn money. It also involves producing and distributing the required inputs and processing and selling the final products. Urban agriculture's potential is highlighted by its contribution to the built environment and sustainable development. Urban agriculture already exists because of the characteristics of urban life and terrain, but it is deeply ingrained in urban culture. In the light of this scenario and from the point of the fourth industrial revolution, a systematic literature review was carried out by taking into account the transformation and transformative effects of urban agricultural practices in and around the city, agricultural activities, urban area use, social and economic dimensions, ecological contributions, and sustainability. Qualitative data analysis was also conducted to ascertain the connections between the investigated areas.
