It seems that the urban farming concept is less and less a concept and more and more a reality.

Local urban agriculture, specifically aquaponics, reduces the use of fossil fuels for food production and transport; provides jobs for a ready workforce; produces fresh foods for under served populations; and finds new uses for old buildings
