I've always wanted to have my own vegetable garden. Imagine chickens running around happily and fresh greens and fruits growing everywhere. Unfortunately, that's not going to happen because living in a small studio without a garden or even a balcony can be a little bit of a problem. The solution is urban farming. Urban farming is super awesome, and I'm going to tell you why! 

 1. No matter how tiny your backyard or balcony is, you can make it work. Urban farming is possible in so many different ways. You just need to think outside the box. For example, make the most of your stairs and turn it into a garden. You can also buy ready-made square meter gardens. It makes it really easy to get started. 

 2. With the increased awareness about chemicals being used on vegetables and fruits in the food industry, you can make sure your own greens will be the healthiest ever! Also, local food has much more freshness, flavour and nutrients because there is no transport process. On top of that we will reduce CO2 emissions because there will be less transport if everyone starts urban farming.

 3. Urban farming can revive our neighbourhoods. Do you even know your neighbors right now? You will when you start urban farming! Neighbours can exchange the crops they have in surplus, because when it's harvest time you will have way too much to eat it all by yourself. Sharing is caring!

This could be one of the most important movements of our time. Imagine everyone having their own little garden. Eating healthier, reducing CO2 emissions, reviving your neighbourhood. And if you don't have a garden or balcony at all, like me, you can still make it work. Just put a teeny tiny greenhouse in your windowsill. You can grow herbs, or even small vegetables. Go urban farming!
