Urban Agriculture
Transforming Urban Landscapes into Living Laboratories
- Food security, for individuals and families
- Urban biodiversity and repurposing empty spaces
- Community bonds through sustainable farming practices right in the heart of the city
Urban agriculture—also called urban farming—involves growing plants and raising animals within and around cities to produce fresh, local food and create sustainable, educational environments.
At Econautics, we support communities, organizations, and businesses in implementing sustainable practices that benefit both the environment and the community, with a focus on creating healthier urban spaces.
Urban farms can clean land, water, and air over time, create badly needed greenspace, reduce the “urban heat island” effect, and provide children with hands-on learning opportunities about sustainability and ecology.
