I read this article in the online edition of the Toronto Star today and it contained a couple of interesting quotes. The first was:
Farming in the city is a growth industry for jobs and serious quantities of just-picked produce
It is an indication that urban farming is moving into the mainstream.
I'm not sure I agree (In fact, I'm pretty sure I disagree) with the other interesting quote:
Urban agriculture should not be confused with gardening, says Field. The main difference is the scale – the plots are larger – and the food is sold, not shared among a community or taken home at the end of the day by one gardener.This is the first time I've hear that particular distinction. Most urban farmers consume and/or share their crop rather than sell it, so I don't think the definition is valid.
