This video demonstrates a different way to think about urban farming; rather than centralized farms that sells food to consumers this method decentralizes production into the yards of individuals while providing jobs for the “farmers” and food for the owners of the land with excess produce that can be sold.

All the other benefits of urban farming are present in this system; a closer relationship between the consumer and the farmer, a better understanding of food production, less fossil fuel for transportation and better-tasting, more nutritious food.
