URBAN GREENHOUSES
The Future of Farming. Technological innovation in agriculture is rapidly evolving, allowing for farms to move closer to population centers. We can customize solutions for your rooftops, empty lots, or any space you want to transform into a growing facility. Urban farming can increase economic opportunity for both communities and individual businesses, as well as help build stronger social networks and provide economic and health-related growth.
Urban Agriculture
Farming in an urban setting requires careful consideration of a host of new factors. Presently, there are great resources for prospective urban farmers wishing to embark on a new kind of agricultural journey. Below is a list of factors to consider:
- Land Access
- Water access
- Capital
The USDA has comprehensive resources and toolkits to read up on if you are looking for assistance.
