Agricultura Urbana, or urban agriculture, refers to the practice of cultivating, processing, and distributing food in and around urban areas. It encompasses a variety of activities, including gardening, farming, and raising livestock within city environments, often utilizing small plots of land, rooftops, community gardens, and even vertical farms. Urban agriculture aims to enhance food security, promote sustainability, and improve access to fresh produce for urban populations while also fostering community engagement and environmental awareness. This practice can also help reduce the carbon footprint associated with transporting food from rural areas to urban centers. Additionally, urban agriculture can contribute to biodiversity, promote greening in urban settings, and provide educational opportunities for urban dwellers about food production and ecological stewardship.
