Abstract: 

A major theme in the creation of viable urban-rural interfaces is the creation of natural resource scarcities by urbanisation. Urbanisation is driven by the desire for short-run economic growth and wealth in ever growing cities. Therefore, periurban agriculture should provide a bypass for this ecologically unhealthy development of large urban agglomerations. Sustainable, or at least less ecologically harmful, development of mega-cities can only be reached if it is grounded in a better development of periurban agriculture, biotic resource recycling and waste management.
