In a world increasingly characterized by urban sprawl and environmental challenges, the concept of urban farming has emerged as a vital bridge between our rural agricultural heritage and our urban present. The concept of urban farming stands as a beacon of hope and offers practical approaches to tackling present and future food supply challenges. Urban farming is more than just a trend; it represents a movement with the potential to transform the way we engage with food production, our communities, and the environment. This Beginners Guide to Urban Farming offers a unique perspective on this movement, one that draws inspiration from the Rural-to-Urban Transect characteristic of New Urbanism and the ecological transect concept advanced by the pioneering explorer and naturalist, Alexander Von Humboldt. By merging these two frameworks, we can better understand the essence of urban farming and how it enhances contemporary urban landscapes.
