Urban farming combines innovative agricultural techniques with city spaces to create sustainable local food systems. From small-scale market gardens to advanced controlled environments, urban farming is transforming how we think about food production in metropolitan areas. At UGA Extension, we support three key approaches: small-scale farming that maximizes limited urban space, hydroponic and aquaponic systems that eliminate the need for soil, and controlled environment agriculture that enables year-round growing through environmental management. These methods help meet the growing demand for locally-produced food while adapting to urban constraints and environmental challenges.
