Urban farming, or growing food in cities, is a rising trend that tackles food security and sustainability. With limited space, urban farmers use creative methods like rooftop gardens, vertical farming, and hydroponics. These techniques maximize yield in small areas, often without soil, using nutrient-rich water instead. Benefits include fresher produce, reduced transport emissions, and stronger community ties as people grow and share food locally. Cities like New York and Tokyo have embraced this, with projects turning vacant lots into green spaces. Challenges remain, such as high startup costs and zoning laws, but the movement is gaining traction. It’s a practical step toward greener, self-sufficient urban living, blending nature with city life.
