    D None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Urban agriculture contributes to both food security and food safety. • Food Security: Urban agriculture helps increase local food production, making fresh produce more accessible to urban populations. It reduces the dependency on food supplies from rural areas and can enhance food security, especially in densely populated urban areas where transportation of fresh produce from rural areas might be challenging. • Food Safety: Urban agriculture allows for better monitoring and control of the production process. With smaller-scale, localized farming, there's often greater awareness of the inputs used, leading to improved food safety standards.
