The urban agriculture production system is characterised by a variety of agricultural micro-enterprises, the performance of which is not only limited by bio-climatic, land and socio-economic constraints but also by important technical restrictions. Although urban farmers are quite dynamic and innovative and have a vast scope for technical improvement, the rate of development and diffusion of technologies to these systems is still limited. This article explores the methods and procedures that may be applied with success to urban agriculture.
