Urban Agriculture: (UA) Is No Longer an Oxymoron

摘要

Think "urban" and you probably envision a sea of buildings made of concrete, steel, and glass; "agriculture" conjures up "amber waves of grain." Marry the two terms, and you're no longer talking about cities or farming, but the nexus of the two and much, much more. Urban agriculture is at the center of communities (e.g., community gardens), city planning, and youth/leadership development in cities around the world.
