Why it matters for urban farming

This Kobe City plan directly supports citizen-driven urban farming by promoting local food consumption and creating opportunities for agricultural experiences. Urban farms can play a vital role in achieving the plan's KPI targets for local production and exchange population. Furthermore, the emphasis on new farmers and food-related startups offers a supportive policy environment for individuals looking to establish or expand urban farming initiatives, potentially integrating into broader city-wide food systems and community engagement programs like EAT LOCAL KOBE.
