• Urban farming is the practice of growing food in unconventional places like on rooftops, on building walls, and in vacant lots. Urban farming provides people with fresh produce at a low cost, since the product does not have to be transported far. The green spaces add beauty, oxygen, and shade to city environments.
• Urban farming is yet another far-fetched idea proposed by environmentalists. While it is true that urban farming looks pretty, its proponents rarely mention the prohibitive cost to buying land and setting up planting and irrigation systems in places where plants will not normally grow. Why force Mother Nature?
• Urban farming is the last hope for civilization. As urban sprawl smothers green spaces and isolates people from nature, society suffers as a whole. City dwellers deserve access to fresh food at fair prices, and they are more than capable of running urban farms if given the chance. Urban farming will transform the landscape of cities, making them livable again.
• Urban farming is a passing fad. While it is true that there are benefits to urban farming, it will never replace traditional agricultural practices. Urban farming is expensive, unregulated, and unproven. Instead of investing in urban farming, monies would be better spent improving transportation systems to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
