Sustainability in Urban Agriculture

Scientists postulate that by 2050, the world population will reach 10 billion people, yielding a higher demand for earth's precious and finite natural resources. Creating a paradigm shift to meet this need for nutritious and ample food stabilization might further environmental degradation if not aligned with sustainable agriculture practices. An alarming 19% of all greenhouse gasses (9 88 billion tons of 52 billion tons globally produced) are contributed by the agricultural and forest industries, according to Breakthrough Energy.
