URBANUS AGRICULTURA
Latin for Urban Agriculture, it is "the practice of cultivating, processing, and distributing food
in or around a village, town, or city." Urban agriculture is a blanket term that encompasses anything from raising hens in one's backyard to community supported agriculture programs, according to Sheila Golden, a junior specialist at the University of California's Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Urban agriculture allows for the relocation of America's produce from big plots of farmland to areas of high population. It brings consumers fresher, faster produce. It is the newest way to interact with our Earth and with each other. Urban agriculture is a positive force that can benefit health and wellbeing, local economies, and socialization, bringing communities closer together.
