For my first blog post, I am going to discuss the problems we have with urban agriculture. There are many positives, like making sure that there is food in the city, and the positive impact it has on the environment. However, there are some downsides. There’s not enough space in the city! Cities are meant to hold many people and that does not leave enough room for a field to grow crops. And if there is room for agriculture in the city, it could be very expensive compared to a space in a rural area. Another problem is that that urban agriculture requires water just like all other kinds of agriculture does, but it could create a shortage of water in the city since there are so many people. There is also more of a risk for soil and water pollution in the city. And one more thing that I’ll mention which seems like a non-issue but that actually bothers some people, is that it is not aesthetically pleasing.  Especially when these agricultural areas are not tended to properly.
