Urban agriculture contributes nutritious, flavorful food to communities through year-round local food production. The ability to produce and distribute food throughout local neighborhoods is important as the demand for nutritional, good-tasting food continues
to grow throughout the country. It is crucial that this healthy food be available to individuals and families in ALL neighborhoods!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#666666">While healthy food production is perhaps the most important aspect of urban agriculture, other benefits abound as well. Sustainable farming methods and food production contribute
to the beauty of urban landscapes while at the same time playing a crucial role in strengthening healthy environmental management practices within our cities. Additionally, urban farmers and residents benefit as both the economic and social impacts strengthen
neighbors and neighborhoods.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
