The Urban Farmer

A guide to cultivating sustainability in city spaces. Chapters cover the rise of urban farming and its role in food security, getting started with limited space — from balconies to vacant lots — and specific gardening techniques adapted for urban environments like container gardening, vertical growing, and hydroponics. Urban farming transforms unused city spaces into productive food sources while building community resilience. This book shows you how to grow meaningful amounts of food in small, unconventional spaces using methods that work within city constraints.
