What isUrban Agriculture?
Urban agriculture is a revolution in tomorrow'shorticulture. The concept is to bring crops closer to the consumer.
Adapting traditional agriculture in the city center to make it an urban agriculture.
It is true that all these agricultural or horticultural activities have always existed since antiquity in cities for a question of proximity of the final consumer as well as the proximity of the cultures allowing practical supplies of the trade.
With the growth of large cities such as Paris and the Ile de France with more than 10,000,000 inhabitants or Lille, Lyon, Marseille, the large cities have developed housing for crafts, industry and urban agriculture. The fields have gradually disappeared from the cities, but there are smaller plots of land, as well as many gardens that still occupy an important place.
With pollution, junk food, the often unknown origin of fruits and vegetables, toxicity due to the use of pesticides that we eat without any real traceability, it is important that an urban agriculture close to us develops.
This is why today on a global scale, we can see a new momentum with more and more aquaculture, vegetable gardens, small farms, we see a population returning to the sources and finding a growing interest inurban agriculture projects with the aim of ecological transition for a sustainable food and a well being of populations. Let's save the planet and eat healthily.
