Atlanta's Urban Farms Are Revitalizing the City's Lost Green Space

This article highlights how Atlanta, once celebrated for its tree canopy and green spaces, is witnessing rapid commercial growth threatening its greenery. In response, urban farms are flourishing, transforming unused spaces into productive gardens. Notable examples include Gaia Gardens, PolyCulture Production, Five Points Farm, Metro Atlanta Urban Farm, and the Urban Food Forest at Browns Mill, which provide fresh produce to local communities and restaurants. These farms address food deserts, offer work opportunities, and foster community and education through programs like Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). Urban farmers are adopting innovative methods to grow crops in urban settings, helping retain some of the city's green character and support local foodways.
