Agriculture in the City (Institute for Urban Agriculture)

Agriculture in the City, by the Institute for Urban Agriculture, focuses on creating sustainable farming practices within urban environments. It involves using underused spaces like rooftops, vacant lots, and community gardens to grow food locally. This approach reduces the distance food travels, lowers environmental impact, and increases food security. It also promotes community engagement and green infrastructure. Urban agriculture combines modern techniques with ecological principles to produce fresh, healthy produce while revitalizing neighborhoods and fostering local resilience. Overall, it aims to integrate agriculture seamlessly into city life for economic, environmental, and social benefits.
