Hence Community gardening and growing initiatives are a great and easy way to become actively involved in changing the way we grow our food and treat the environment. Including the involvement of  volunteer programs, making it easier for those with a disability, the older persons, ex offenders or lone parents to attend. Their are chances to educate local communities, children  and local students how they can cultivate and grow their own food in the city environment, which is a great step for the future.

Urban farming is certainly here to stay, and could well be instrumental in helping to solve the problems of feeding the local community or even borough.

There are a number of more subtle benefits as well.  Urban farming can create jobs in deprived areas and grant locals access to good quality, affordable and healthy food and homemade compost, fertilisers and pesticides which may previously have been difficult to obtain or have highly toxic elements.  In fact, there are very prominent financial incentives for all involved.  Urban farmers can afford to sell produce cheap, and buying local urban farmed food can therefore be a much better financial option for local residents.  With an increasing focus on eco-friendly living, urban farming offers a cheap, affordable option for everyone.  This can in turn help make sustainability more feasible, as part of a wider enviromnetally friendly lifestyle approaches that can still be achieved on a budget.
