| Article Name : | | | ANTHROPOGENIC IMPACT ON URBAN AGRICULTURE IN YAMUNA RIVER BED, DELHI | | Author Name : | | | Krishna Kumar | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-3633 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | The cultivation of food crops within the overall boundaries of towns and cities is not new, but has been forgotten or ignored in the last 20 years, while urbanisation has, it is thought, absorbed a disproportionate share of national resources. Though primary activities are absent in urban areas of developed countries but it has its presence in urban areas of developing countries. Urban agriculture is practiced within the city and outside the city boundary. Though small in area and production its worth is noting. The role of agriculture in metros especially in Delhi is undermined due to its low contributions in urban economy. However; it plays a key part in influencing food supply chain as well as in stabilisation of prices of agricultural produces. | | Keywords : | | |
