In: UA Magazine no. 19 - Stimulating Innovation in Urban Agriculture

The population of the Bogota Capital District is increasing rapidly. A major reason for this is internal migration. The need for housing for these displaced people has contributed to the accelerated use of periurban and urban areas for construction of houses, affecting the availability of land suitable for urban agriculture. Meanwhile, there is an increase in the demand for arable land and for food that contributes to a balanced diet.
