Urban farming (or Urban Agriculture) is the practice of cultivating, processing, and distributing food in or around a village, town, or city. Urban agriculture can also involve animal husbandry, aquaculture, agroforestry, and horticulture. These activities also occur in peri-urban areas as well.

Here are seven farms in cities from Hong Kong to Cairo. Learn more about their methods, and their outlook on the future of the industry.

Yeah, urban farming is so different than rural farming because urban farmers are using latest technologies to improve their farming production and quality. And according to me, this is good sign for whole agriculture market. If it is possible then, rural farmers should also use some latest technologies to do farming like urban farmers.
