Rapid urban growth poses increasing challenges, but also opportunities, for urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA). This systematic review explores the nexus between UPA and urban growth through a meta-analysis of research on UPA in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. We reviewed 92 empirical articles, reporting on 83 cities, by applying a framework focused on interactions between urban growth, agricultural production factors, and urban food markets. Results show that the most reported challenges facing UPA are agricultural land conversion and peripheralization. Yet, a number of studies indicate spatial expansion and intensification of UPA due to increasing and changing food demand. Urban growth-related dynamics in the availability of water, organic fertilizer, and labour can further foster or constrain UPA. Consequently, farmers respond and adapt to urban growth in multiple ways. These findings indicate a complex, multi-dimensional challenge for planners and policy makers seeking to manage UPA in rapidly urbanizing landscapes. Yet, our meta-analysis shows that few studies holistically address spatiotemporal dynamics, intra-urban variations, and complex multi-dimensional interlinkages of UPA under urban growth. To overcome these limitations and chart a new framework for future research, we reconceptualize the spatiotemporal dynamics of UPA under urban growth as a wheel of urban growth-related UPA dynamics. To apply this framework, we call for further mixed-methods research linking multi-temporal, remotely sensed data to longitudinal qualitative and quantitative fieldwork data, in order to better understand and critically assess the multifaceted and dynamic socio-spatial changes of UPA in cities across the Global South.

快速的城市增长给城市和城郊农业 (UPA) 带来了越来越多的挑战，但也带来了机遇。本系统综述通过对非洲、亚洲和拉丁美洲 UPA 研究的元分析，探讨了 UPA 与城市增长之间的关系。我们审查了 92 实证文章，通过应用关注城市增长、农业生产要素和城市食品市场之间相互作用的框架，报告了 83 个城市。结果表明，UPA 面临的报告最多的挑战是农业用地转换和外围化。然而，许多研究表明，由于食物需求的增加和变化，UPA 的空间扩展和集约化。与城市增长相关的水、有机肥和劳动力供应方面的动态可以进一步促进或限制 UPA。因此，农民以多种方式响应和适应城市发展。这些发现表明，对于寻求在快速城市化景观中管理 UPA 的规划者和政策制定者来说，这是一项复杂的、多维的挑战。然而，我们的荟萃分析表明，很少有研究从整体上解决时空动态，城市增长下 UPA 的城市内变化和复杂的多维相互联系。为了克服这些限制并为未来的研究制定一个新的框架，我们将城市增长下 UPA 的时空动态重新概念化为与城市增长相关的 UPA 动态之轮。为了应用这个框架，我们呼吁进一步的混合方法研究将多时相、遥感数据与纵向定性和定量的实地工作数据联系起来，以便更好地理解和批判性地评估 UPA 在各个城市的多方面和动态的社会空间变化。全球南方。
