URBAN FARMING IN MALAYSIA: Improving Food Security While Greening The Environment by Neda Tiraieyari, Asnarulkhadi Abu Samah and Gary N.McLean

This Urban Farming (UF) book will help planners, policymakers, academicians, university students, NGOs, researchers, and practitioners to gain a better understanding of UF challenges and opportunities in Malaysia. We compiled the current work on UF in Malaysia to provide accurate and up-to-date information for all stakeholders who are involved or interested in farming in urban and peri-urban areas. This book includes wider perspectives of UF that go beyond cultivation of plants and vegetables to include more recent lucrative urban farming options such as swiftlet ranching with the potential of contributing to the gross national income. The book is a “must read” for all involved in UF research and development, volunteer activities, and policy development for planning and implementation of UF in Malaysia.
