Agriculture in Middle Eastern cities
Agriculture is a productive activity not typically associated with urban areas, where it is often seen as at most a marginal use for land that is awaiting future development. Yet research indicates that agricultural production within urban and peri-urban regions may be very significant in terms of meeting household nutritional requirements and food security, as well as offering income-earning opportunities and various environmental enhancements. At the same time, the rapid expansion of urban agriculture in highly differentiated urban environments sometimes leads to problems which counter its great benefits to some extent.
After remaining largely invisible for many years, urban agriculture and urban food systems are receiving growing attention, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. However, little such attention has been directed toward the cities of the Middle East. While basic constraints, opportunities and interactions are shared the world over, agriculture in Middle Eastern cities presents important contrasts to other regions on several counts. Arid and semi-arid environments, Mediterranean crop/climate regimes, Islamic and other socio-religious cultures, a long history of urbanization, and the place of the region in the global political economy are among the factors that specifically influence urban agriculture dynamics in the Middle East. Indeed, the development of urban agriculture here may be at the vanguard of trends in other regions, given the high levels of urbanization and greater fragility of agricultural lands in this region.
This paper is divided into two major sections. The first identifies and briefly describes those distinguishing features that characterize urban agriculture and urban food supply throughout the Middle East. Next, recognizing that, despite such unifying characteristics, the Middle East is neither physically nor culturally homogenous, the second section identifies those differences across Middle Eastern space and society that hold significant implications for urban agriculture and food systems. In raising these issues, this paper does not mean to be comprehensive but to suggest starting points for future research on urban agriculture and urban food supply in the Middle East. As such, and since the authors regard this as an ongoing project, the paper concludes with a request for comments, examples of urban agriculture in the Middle East, and suggestions for future efforts.

they grow their own food, some have it imported. like iraq example had an oil for food program with france and other european countries. since the american invasion of iraq, iraqi children malnutrition rate has shot up to 90%. some of the land in the middle east is fertile. in palestine the jewish people got all the fertile land in "israel" so the palestinian people have no other choice but to go to work for the jews and buy their vegitables and proudce from jewish people.
