“…But, [20] considers urban farming to grow crops to produce entrepreneurial food for sustainable urban neighbourhoods. A study by [21] reveals that Urban farming is a rigorous and crop production activity that utilises space effectively, with most shorter-cycle, higher-yield products. It makes good use of both horizontal and vertical areas by using multi-cropping and integrated farming practices (through practices such as shelf-mounted chicken coops, different kinds of fish farming, and growing crops in a container).…”

Cities in developing countries are heavily involved in urban agricultural activities, and a lot of research has been done to address the challenges in this regard. However, several studies have proposed taking advantage of them in reducing the impact of urban heat islands (UHIs), which are manifested as a consequence of stringent changes in energy use, human settlement patterns, industry, transportation, and population growth. Data for this study were obtained from a literature search of existing academic journals, the domain of agriculturally related organisations, and books; the investigation was mainly based on developing nations. Best practices of scholarly work did the review. Authors stand posited. Urban farming has been employed in cities mainly as a food source while also catering to the changing needs of the urban dweller’s lifestyles. There is an urgent need to investigate the potentials of urban farming not just as food crops but as green infrastructure in ameliorating urban heat island intensities in our cities.

This study uses nationally representative survey data collected in Nigeria by the Pew Research Center in 2015, 2018, and 2019 to conduct a secondary analysis of three factors that can interact with concerns about climate change. The factors are: vulnerabilities to climate change, religious affiliation, and concerns regarding the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement. Socio-economic vulnerability is also studied, and vulnerable groups are defined as those at risk of being affected by the impacts of climate change due to traditional socio-economic traits commonly identified as increasing risk factors. The findings are that individuals in poverty express the least concern about climate change and its effects. Religious affiliation has a limited role in increasing climate change awareness. However, this does not exclude the potential influence of other forms of religiosity in alleviating climate change vulnerabilities. Disapproval of Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement was higher among people living in the most vulnerable areas and among older individuals, while females tended not to disapprove of withdrawing from the agreement. Three recommendations for practice and policy are: focus on the most vulnerable, incorporate local knowledge—especially recognizing the important role of religiosity—and build capacity for greater awareness.
