Health benefits
Urban farming will definitely increase the overall health of the community around the farms. As the farms are near or in cities, the availability for fresh foods will increase and it will decrease the consumption of processed foods. Therefore, the residents around urban farms are expected to have a healthy and better lifestyle. Urban farming also provides better maintenance on food nutrient content as the intermediaries are lesser and the risk of nutrient deterioration reduces as well. Urban farmers also mostly reject the use of toxic fertilizers and pesticides, which decreases the possibility of toxins contaminating their produce.
