Why it matters for urban farming
This strategy is highly relevant for citizen-driven urban farming as it explicitly recognizes urban farmland as a key component of green infrastructure. This national-level recognition means urban farms are valued not just for food production but also for their multifunctional benefits, such as stormwater management, biodiversity support, and community health. Urban farmers can leverage this policy to advocate for their spaces, seek integration into local green infrastructure projects, and potentially access support or funding for their initiatives, strengthening their role in urban resilience and sustainability.
