Urban farming varies widely based on local factors such as population density, space, and infrastructure. In densely populated cities, urban farming may look very different from practices in smaller towns or suburbs. Goals of urban farming also differ, with some initiatives focusing on producing fresh local food to enhance food security and reduce environmental impact, while others aim to create green spaces, promote sustainable agriculture, or provide educational opportunities. Urban farming techniques range from traditional soil-based methods to advanced hydroponics or aquaponics, depending on available space, climate, and resources. Additionally, urban agriculture plays a key role in climate change mitigation by reducing water use and transportation burdens. Training for professionals in eco-farming techniques is emphasized, targeting groups such as industrial site operators, urban farmers, educational institutions, professional networks, public authorities, and the general public.
