• Conclusion
Tuesday, March 22, 2011
Urban Agriculture is more than just growing food.
It is about the design of the places in which we live, work and sustain ourselves.
It is not about de-urbanizing our cities, but about re-integrating green space into the urban fabric to include growing food and civic spaces
for markets squares and halls. Designs that will give farmers greater accessibility to civic life and urban neighborhoods a direct
connection to where their food comes from.
