The latest technologies and developments in agriculture, including: hydroponics, vertical gardening, and aquaponics . Case studies and design concerns for community-based farming . The best plant species for cities and seasons . Beekeeping and small animals . Commercial agriculture and the business side of farming in a city environment This comprehensive guide will introduce readers to the rewarding possibilities of growing their own food, as well as dispel the falsehood that says we need faraway factory farms to produce everything we eat.
