Urban and peri-urban vegetable production systems in Bandung city, Indonesia

摘要

Anticipating the future vegetable demand pressure which is expected to be especially high in and around urban areas, greater attention has been increasingly put to the improvements of urban and peri-urban production systems. In this context, a study was initiated to characterise urban and peri-urban vegetable production in Bandung City, West .lava, Indonesia. Opportunities and constraints in growing vegetables in those two production systems are highlighted. A concerted effort to promote large potentialities and advantages of the urban and petri-urban production systems that can lead to a strong commitment of further developing a sustain able vegetable production systems, is undoubtedly needed.
