Abstract

The integration of agricultural activities into urban development concepts and the planning of productive green infrastructure in urban areas requires a comprehensive definition of the term "urban agriculture". On the basis of existing terminology, the federal research institutions of the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture have agreed on a definition that is binding for them. According to this, urban agriculture includes all agricultural production systems and processes in the broadest sense that are used on land, in or on water bodies, in or on buildings in the city or its immediate vicinity for the commercial or non-commercial production of products and services including ecosystem services in the city-regional, i.e. city-near rural, peri -urban and intra-urban space. A complementary bilingual glossary of urban agricultural nomenclature is provided.
