Urban Farming (Urban Agriculture)

Urban farming, or urban agriculture, involves growing food and raising animals within city environments. It utilizes available spaces like rooftops, vacant lots, community gardens, and even balconies to produce fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and sometimes small livestock. This practice enhances local food security, promotes sustainability, and fosters community engagement. Urban farming can range from small-scale home gardens to larger shared projects, making fresh, healthy food more accessible and reducing reliance on distant supply chains. It also helps improve urban ecosystems by increasing green space and biodiversity.
