Urban farming has many benefits, especially in providing a source of fresh and healthy food directly from home, saving on shopping costs, and reducing dependence on mass-produced food. This practice helps utilize limited space in urban areas, such as balconies, rooftops, or small yards, to grow your own vegetables, fruits, or herbs in a sustainable way. Urban farming also contributes to reducing the carbon footprint by reducing the need for long-distance food transportation. In addition, this activity can improve air quality and have a positive impact on mental health by providing a calming gardening activity amidst the busy city life.
