Urban Farming Is Growing a Greener Future 🌱

During which year did more people, for the first time, live in cities than in rural areas?

• 2004

• 2008

• 2012

• 2014

• 2018

One significant consequence of the turning point of the fact that more people live in cities than in rural areas are ………

• That urban farming now is expanding more than cities which decreases the population of people who live in cities

• That urban farming has many benefits and advantages that help the health of people, the environment, economy, and aesthetic

• That food being produced by farms will no longer stay near the consumer and therefore will leave the consumer with lower availability of food than before. (Transportation will leave carbon footprints.)

• There are no consequences but benefits and advantages of good city view, modern architecture, and more.

• That urban farming had less pollution and less fossil-fuel consumption, but more cities mean more pollution and more carbon dioxide emissions to transport food from far away distances— and also that people no longer live in agricultural areas
