About this book:

Discover how rooftop gardens are rewriting the story of American cities—turning concrete skylines into thriving farms that feed neighborhoods, create jobs, and cool the urban heat island. *Urban Farming in American Cities* takes you inside the movement that’s turning vacant lots, warehouse roofs, and community spaces into sources of fresh, local produce and resilient food security.

From the technological breakthroughs of hydroponics and aeroponics to the powerful social impact of community gardens, each chapter blends real‑world case studies from New York, Chicago, and San Francisco with practical guidance on design, policy, funding, and education. Learn how these green oases cut carbon footprints, boost biodiversity, and build stronger, more equitable communities.
