Abstract:
Urban and periurban agriculture (UPA) is the important part of modern agriculture. It can resolve the food supply to city residents, increase employments and improve the urban ecosystem. But without proper management and reasonable programming, UPA also can carry heavy burden to urban environment and impact people's health. This paper specifically analyzed the potential risks of urban agriculture and suggested preventive and control measures.
