Innovative Urban Farming Techniques for Sustainability of Cities: from Farm to Fork – Case of the City Lanuvio, Rome, Italy

From Farm-to-Fork: A pictorial Mini Review on Nano-Farming of Vegetables

“…Figure 2 shows some steps belonging the production of food (an example of carrots) processing, packing, handling, and delivering for consumption. This year (2022), many other reports have published concerning this strategy to focus on more topics related to the F2F strategy (Table 1) such as the role of terrestrial and aquatic farm viruses in food production systems under F2F strategy (Mahony and van Sinderen 2022), using the biofortification of tomato with carotenoid as a sustainable strategy for the agro-food chain (Meng et al 2022), reducing food wastes at the level of food service, retail, and the household levels by understanding and addressing food wastes from date labeling of the products (Patra et al 2022), using some innovative urban farming techniques as an example for sustainability of "F2F" in the cities (Shehata et al 2022), scenarios of achieving the "F2F" 50% pesticide reduction for avoiding environmental and human health risks (Silva et al 2022), and reducing applied pesticide amounts more than 60% based on canopy characteristics in apple trees to reduce environmental risks (Xun et al 2022).
