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!

This article in Slate cheekily details the urban farming movement, in which young people “chewing on only organic, free-range, locally grown straw, racing outside to move their tractors for street-sweeping,” have begun killing their own chickens and growing their own produce. You might be asking: How this is possible in a city that doesn’t have the geographic locations of a rural setting? Well, it’s possible in the most punk way imaginable, by creating the environment yourself.

So the next question is: When are we going to get hybrid tractors?
