The Rise of Urban Farming
Growing Food in City Spaces
About this book:
Discover how to turn balconies, rooftops, and forgotten lots into thriving gardens with *The Rise of Urban Farming*.

Each chapter delivers stepâbyâstep techniques, cropâselection tips, and ecoâfriendly pest solutions so you can harvest fresh, flavorful produce right where you live.
Beyond the practical, the book reveals the deeper rewards of city farming: stronger neighborhoods, reduced food miles, personal resilience, and the joy of watching a seed become supper.

Whether youâre a novice or a seasoned gardener, youâll find the inspiration and knowâtoâdo to transform concrete into a productive oasis.
