Today, in our environmental science lecture, we will discuss the impact of urban farming on local communities. While rooftop gardens can reduce heat absorption and improve air quality, the main benefit we observed in our study was increased food security. Residents in areas with community gardens reported a 30% higher intake of fresh vegetables. However, the initial cost of setting up these gardens is often high, and maintenance requires regular volunteer effort. Therefore, we recommend that city councils provide subsidies for soil and seeds to encourage participation.
