Can Urban Agriculture Help with Food Security?

UPDATE (June 26, 2013): It turns out that the paper I had initially linked to in the post below appears to have plagiarized the following paper by Alberto Zezza and Luca Tasciotti:

Zezza, A., and L. Tasciotti (2010), “Urban Agriculture, Poverty, and Food Security. Empirical Evidence from a Sample of Developing Countries,” Food Policy 35(4): 265-273.

If you compare the two abstracts, they are eerily similar to one another. My apologies to Alberto and Luca. I will publish a post rectifying the situation in the next few business days.
