Book Description
In last few years there is a great change in population in rural &urban area. A large population in developing world is shifting from rural to urban area. Within the next decade more than half of the world population, an estimated 3.3 billion will be living in urban area. As recently as 1975 just over 30-35% of world population lived in urban areas but by 2025(only after 50 years) it will be almost 60-65 %.The metro cities of future are taking shape in developing countries and will affect social& environmental aspect of concern countries and ultimately an alarm for food security. The Urban populations are not able to feed themselves by subsistence food production, and their eating patterns differ from those of rural folk. The amount of high-value, transportable, and storable grain (such as rice and wheat), animal protein, and vegetables in their diets is higher, with a corresponding decrease in the proportion of traditional foodstuffs. Probably in 2025 the 800 million subsistence farmers will not possibly be able to feed 4 billion city dwellers.
