City Harvest explores how urban agriculture is reshaping cities into healthier, more resilient places to live. Written for urban dwellers, sustainability advocates, and community leaders, this inspiring guide shows how gardens on rooftops, vertical farms, and community-supported agriculture can help strengthen local food systems and bring fresh produce closer to the people who need it most. Through practical insight and real-life success stories, the book highlights how growing food in urban spaces can improve access, support equity, reduce disease risk, and build stronger neighborhood connections. From vacant lots to shared garden plots, City Harvest reveals how ordinary spaces can become powerful sources of nourishment, self-reliance, and community pride. Whether you are starting a small neighborhood project or looking for ideas to expand an existing initiative, this book offers encouragement and direction for creating lasting change. It is a hopeful call to action for anyone who believes cities can grow a more sustainable future from the ground up.
