Urban Farming: Why Not?
Tired of food products coming from rural farms that allow the presence of chemical products, animal mistreatment, and conveyor belt-filled factories, many city residents in the United States have begun taking up urban farming. That’s right: farms in cities!

Well, it’s possible in the most punk way imaginable, by creating the environment yourself.
