Growing food in cities makes a lot of sense. Gardens, allotments, patios, rooftops and window-ledges all have the potential to provide us with an abundance of free and nutritious food. 
Plus food grown in urban environments can help reduce food transportation, create jobs, and strengthen communities.
We all have food in common. We eat it, crave it, and dream about it. So let’s celebrate and grow it.
