The Future: Living and Farming on the Same Rooftop

piece is fascinating. Residents co-managing a food space could create social capital and improve food

access. Absolutely. Co-ops, stewardship agreements, and long-term leases

for urban farmers can stabilize operations, even when ownership or building use changes
