urban farmer
Metropolitan food grower
An urban farmer grows food in a city environment—on rooftops, in vacant lots, in backyards, or in community gardens.
The term covers both hobbyists with backyard chickens and commercial operations selling produce to local restaurants.
Urban farming often emphasizes sustainability and local food access: The urban farmers transformed an abandoned lot into a thriving vegetable garden.
