While large-scale agriculture remains essential for meeting global food demand, small-scale urban gardening encourages healthier lifestyles and reconnects people with nature in crowded cities. Inferences: I. Urban gardening reduces the need for large-scale agriculture. II. Governments are encouraging people to adopt urban farming. III. People are using creative ways to grow plants despite limited space.
