How people are growing food on rooftops, balconies,and in tiny urban spaces—making cities more sustainable and self-sufficient.

Urban farming is transforming how we think about foodproduction. By using rooftops, balconies, and even vacant lots, people incities are growing their own fruits, vegetables, and herbs. This shift towardlocal, home-grown food reduces the carbon footprint associated withtransporting produce long distances and helps make urban areas moreself-sufficient.

However, urban farming does face its challenges. Space islimited, and not every building or neighbour-hood has the infrastructure orsunlight needed for successful farming. Additionally, there can be issues withwater access and soil quality in densely populated areas. Despite theseobstacles, urban farming offers a promising way to make cities more sustainableand resilient, offering fresh produce to city dwellers while promotingenvironmental stewardship.
