Cities consume 78% of global energy and produce 60% of greenhouse gases, yet urban agriculture could transform cities into food producers while improving air quality, reducing heat islands, and strengthening communities. The challenge is developing agroecological approaches suitable for urban environments - rooftop gardens, community farms, aquaponics, and food forests. How do we turn cities into productive ecosystems?
