Abstract:
To integrate rural production areas with urban regional markets,
this study investigates the idea of agropolitan-based area
development. This approach's possible advantages, difficulties
and consequences for sustainable development are all examined.
The study identifies important ideas and arguments around
agropolitan development through a thorough examination of
literature and case study analysis.
The case studies of
agropolitan-based area development in Thailand, Indonesia,
Vietnam, Kenya and Brazil are employed and provide valuable
insights into the practical implementation and outcomes of this
concept. These case studies on agropolitan development highlight
the diverse approaches, challenges and impacts of this concept in
different contexts. These examples demonstrate the potential of
agropolitan-based area development in enhancing rural-urban
linkages, promoting economic growth and addressing social and
environmental challenges. The results underline the necessity of
integrated policies and approaches that close the gap between
rural and urban areas, promote economic development and
consider social and environmental issues.
