This webinar aims to present the multifunctionality of urban agriculture as a means to ensure not only the Human Right to Adequate Food (HRtAF), but also several others, such as the right to a safe climate and the Rights of Nature, while discussing interconnected themes. Urban and peri-urban agriculture is one of the key strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, helping cities adapt to climate change, and minimizing food waste through short supply chains. It is also included in the Sectoral Mitigation Plan for Cities. The Synthesis Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) notes that cities exacerbate the problem of anthropogenic warming. Heat islands, air pollution, and related issues call for the greening of cities through urban tree planting, green and natural infrastructure, and especially through Nature-based Solutions that enhance urban adaptation to climate change. Agroecological urban agriculture is a Nature-based Solution that connects with other practices—such as composting, rainwater harvesting, diversified food production, and pollination through native stingless beekeeping—thus contributing to the delivery of multiple ecosystem services (provisioning, supporting, regulating, and cultural). In short, urban agriculture provides economic, social, ecological/environmental, therapeutic, and regenerative benefits.
