Urban Farming--by. Anam Mian

Urban farming is a practice that involves the development of food in areas that aren’t considered one of the top farm-like vicinities. Urban agriculture really boosts up the availability of fresh and organic food in city like areas, where such food is in great need. Farms like Good City Farm help their neighbors by distributing food free in return for some handy work. The main problem with urban farming is that it isn’t an easy task to find good land to grow your food on. Some like Dr. Doshi might have luck and are able to grow numerous amounts organic fruits and veggies in their balcony’s or even city walls of Mumbai. Or like China where more than 70% of the food produced in the country comes out from urban farming. Is this some sort of new trend that has begun? Are we going back in time and bringing the old stuff to the new and better future? If so, I hope it brings us good fortune.
