What is Urban
Farming?
Urban agriculture includes the cultivation,
processing, and distribution of agricultural
products in urban and suburban areas.
Community gardens, rooftop farms, hydroponic,
aeroponic, and aquaponic facilities, and vertical
production are all examples of urban
agriculture.
BENEFITS OF URBAN FARMING
• Locally raised products: Urban farming can help provide more
local sourcing options.

• Density: Practices like vertical farming can allow for more


production per square foot.

• Redevelopment: Urban agriculture operations may be able to put


unused spaces like warehouses to good use–a benefit for residents
and urban planners alike.

• Community / civic pride: Community gardens run by municipal or


non-profit organizations can help residents build stronger ties to
where they live and reduce the urban blight associated with empty

These urban farming operations
are typically associated with a
community institution (ex:

schools, etc.) and do not aim to
grow large quantities of produce.
They instead look to provide
positive health, education, and
lifestyle opportunities for their
respective institutions.
