Urban Farm DB summary

This study aimed to characterize peri-urban agricultural production systems in the Febres Cordero parish. It notes that food insecurity is not uniform across Ecuador, with rural Sierra regions showing higher concentrations of households lacking access to basic food baskets and a higher prevalence of chronic malnutrition. A multicriteria analysis was used to group surveyed families, illustrating their situation in the study area.
