Livingstone (1975) clearly states that during the past decade’ emphasis in ecology has shifted from ecosystem studies to the evolutionary background of natural communities This shift to natural community should include the use of school gardens and periurban farming in agricultural intensification. The growing evidence of systematic and evolutionary complexity of ecological environment, complexity of ecological environment where farmers and students are to utilize limited resources in farming practices within the community, requires immediate attention by the local and international communities. Looking at the current population strength of the world, utilization of every resource for the production of crops and animals would be vital in sustainable systems.
