urban farms
Metropolitan food cultivation
Urban farms are agricultural operations located within cities or densely populated areas, producing food on rooftops, vacant lots, or converted buildings.
They range from community gardens to commercial ventures growing vegetables, raising chickens, or keeping bees.
Urban farming addresses food access in underserved neighborhoods and shortens the distance from farm to table: The urban farm on that abandoned lot now supplies three local restaurants.
