Description
The Urban Farmer: A comprehensive guide to intensive food production in small spaces. With 40 million acres of lawns in North America, there is huge potential for would-be farmers to turn their yards into productive land.
This practical manual provides the techniques and business strategies needed to make a good living growing high-yield, high-value crops right in your own backyard or on leased/borrowed land. The approach offers low capital investment and overhead costs, reduced need for expensive infrastructure, and easy access to markets.
By using intensive production methods, you can minimize risk and maximize profit by turning a small space into a thriving food business. This scalable model makes it an ideal choice for those looking to enter the agricultural sector or expand their existing operations.
