How does Natasha Nicholes's urban farming method outperform traditional techniques?

I focus less on “outperforming” traditional farming and more on solving different problems than rural farms do.

On my urban farm in Chicago, I:

• Use small, previously unused spaces and build fertility with compost and mulch, so we grow a lot in a little footprint
• Center education and community, growing new gardeners globally through We Sow We Grow, not just crops
• Prioritize access: neighbors, kids, and families see, touch, and learn food production up close

Urban and traditional farms play different roles; together they strengthen the food system.

Are you asking more about yield, community impact, or how to start something similar where you live?
