The definition of urban agriculture as an industry to respond to the nutritional needs of a city, from the inner city, use and re-use of city resources while acknowledging economic and resource use does not reconcile aspects of regional health, food security, and application of grassroots organizations.
(This definition is based on the work of Luc Mougeot of the International Development Research Centre and used in technical and training publications by UN-habitat Programme Urban Management, FAO Special Programme for Food Security, and international agricultural centers research, such as CIRAD.)

This results in an increase in entrepreneurial activities and the creation of employment opportunities, as well as in food costs reduction and products of better quality
UPA represents an important opportunity for women to be part of the informal economy of a city. Farming and selling activities can be combined more easily with household tasks and child care.
UPA provides employment, income, and access to food for urban populations, which together contributes to the pap
