“…The five agricultural transformation processes, namely, "grain to grain", "grain to grain + vegetable", "grain to vegetables", "grain to flowers" and "grain to fruit + tourism" and their impacts on ES and human well-being can be regarded as five prototypes of the linkages occurring in PUAs. These reflect the different change processes and development trends of agriculture, ES and human well-being and are also in line with their commercial nature (e.g., high profitability, local fresh food trade and food processing) and offering a high level of ecological services (e.g., shaping of cultural landscape, recycling of urban biodegradable waste, improving individual and public well-being, closer contact with nature and visual amenity) [75].…”

There is a gap in understanding the relationships between the transformation of agricultural landscapes, ecosystem services and human well-being in the peri-urban fringe of major cities worldwide. In this paper, we use semi-structured interviews, perception surveys, social surveys and field mapping to examine linkages between agricultural and landscape transition, ecosystem services and human well-being in five sample villages in Xi’an metropolitan zone, China. The results indicate that: (1) Agricultural change has increased landscape fragmentation, with a shift from grain to more profitable horticulture and nursery production. The farming system is more diversified and exhibits a multifunctional character. (2) This transformation has had a significant impact on the character of the agroecosystem. (3) The agricultural transformation towards greater multifunctionality has increased the supply of ecosystem services, including tourism-related activities, potentially improving human well-being. (4) Different combinations of activities in the sample villages were evaluated with respect to a well-being index, indicating the importance of combining horticulture and tourism. (5) Linkages identified between agricultural transformation, ecosystem services and human well-being may have significant implications for potential approaches within future studies.

“…In the spatial context, urban farming is an agricultural activity conducted in urban areas (Sokra et al, 2021). Some researchers (Skar et al, 2020;Sroka et al, 2021) have seen urban farming as part of urban and peri-urban agriculture; thus, they differentiate between urban farming and urban gardening. Urban Farming is a commercial activity and cultivates considerably larger areas than Urban Gardening and occurs primarily at the fringe (peri-urban area) of urban agglomerations (Sroka et al, 2021:2).…”

“…By referring to those definitions of urban farming or urban agriculture mentioned and their function, this study will describe the occurrence of farming activities in the urban areas of Semarang Regency, which could be categorised as the satellite or peri-urban areas of Semarang City, Central Java, Indonesia. Therefore, this study defines urban farming as farming activities in the spatial context or conducted in urban or peri-urban areas, as Sroka et al (2021). This study will focus only on farming activities conducted by individual households or residential farming as defined by Atmaja et al (2020) or on-plot farming as mentioned by Chandra and Diehl (2019).…”

Urban agriculture has been seen as an essential strategy for enhancing food availability and reducing stress levels for urban households. This paper aims to study the benefits of urban farming and its ability as a resilient strategy, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research used primary and secondary sources to gather relevant data. Primary data was collected through interviews in June-July 2021 and analysed quantitatively and qualitatively. The analysis found that respondents' perception of urban farming was strongly positive. The paper finds that urban farming could be a resilient strategy since it could reduce stress and increase the community's income. Urban farming could also play a way in increasing people's immunity and health system in urban areas. Therefore, urban farming needs to be supported and assisted by the Government, specifically at the local level.

“…In fact, home garden “architecture” and organization, the species chosen, and the management options are linked with the local ecological conditions, but mostly with the options of the members of the household, providing a diverse and stable supply of services and benefits to families [ 35 , 36 ]. Even if they are associated with urban domestic/family gardens and/or self-consumption, home gardens are also an important land-use component in peri-urban and rural areas and in local food markets [ 37 ].…”

Home gardening has a long history that started when humans became sedentary, being traditionally considered an accessible source of food and medicinal plants to treat common illnesses. With trends towards urbanization and industrialization, particularly in the post-World War II period, the importance of home gardens as important spaces for growing food and medicinal plants reduced and they began to be increasingly seen as decorative and leisure spaces. However, the growing awareness of the negative impacts of agricultural intensification and urbanization for human health, food quality, ecosystem resilience, and biodiversity conservation motivated the emergence of new approaches concerning home gardens. Societies began to question the potential of nearby green infrastructures to human wellbeing, food provisioning, and the conservation of traditional varieties, as well as providers of important services, such as ecological corridors for wild species and carbon sinks. In this context. and to foster adaptive and resilient social–ecological systems, our supported viewpoint intends to be more than an exhaustive set of perceptions, but a reflection of ideas about the important contribution of home gardens to sustainable development. We envision these humble spaces strengthening social and ecological components, by providing a set of diversified and intermingled goods and services for an increasingly urban population.
