How Planners and Growers Can Work Together to Bring Urban Farms to Cities
As urban populations continue to grow, cities around the world are turning to innovative solutions to ensure they can source enough food to feed their citizens. Farms in cities, or ‘urban farms’, are a growing trend in this area, allowing city planners and growers to work together to bring fresh and healthy food to the people who need it. Urban farms are unique in that they use existing infrastructure and resources to turn unused or underused spaces into productive farmland. This innovative approach not only provides residents with a sustainable source of food but also helps to reduce urban sprawl and the energy costs associated with traditional farming.
