[BCFSN] A crop-by-crop comparison of urban vs conventional farms yields turns up some surprising results

[Zevit, Pamela]

“The clearcut comparison between urban and field-grown food belies a number of current unknowns, however. The researchers were careful to point out that it’s unclear yet how cost and energy-efficient urban farming really is, compared to conventional agriculture. There’s also a question about how city pollution affects the health and nutritional value of growing fruit and veg.”
