Passage: Urban gardening has become increasingly popular in recent years. With limited space in cities, people are turning to balcony gardens, rooftop plantations, and vertical farming to grow vegetables and herbs. This not only provides fresh produce but also helps reduce stress and improve air quality. Governments in several countries are supporting urban farming through policies and workshops, recognizing its role in sustainability. 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.
