Urban agriculture helps produce local food and improve access to healthy food in cities. However, urban farmers must follow specific city regulations that can affect land use, sales, buildings, and farming activities. Many urban farms are small and use diverse activities like farm sales, educational programs, and “u-pick” experiences to earn income. Some city laws support urban farming, but others are outdated and unclear, which can create challenges. Because of this, urban farmers should understand local regulations and work with city officials before starting or investing in a farm.
