In 2014, the USDA reported a total of 8,268 farmers markets nationwide, an
increase of 76 percent since 2008. That increase was partly due to demand
for more local food.
.
The mission of many urban farms, like Common Good City Farm, is to sell
their harvested produce at farmers markets to low-income residents??,
Callahan says.
.
As a gardener and researcher of human rights for adequate food and
nutrition, Anne Bellows, professor of food studies at Syracuse University,
says these ?urban farms play an important role in retaining public health.
.
Its important to understand and be aware of what the huge multitude of
benefits are, she says. The food and the nutrition are important, but also
very critical are benefits like access to green, quiet, safe space where
other people are meeting and working some place that is a refuge.
.
In her research ?on the health benefits of urban agriculture, she found
that a five- to 10-day lag time between produce transportation and
consumption can result in a 30 to 50 percent loss of nutritional value. In
other words, instead of buying tomatoes from a supermarket that imports
them from hundreds of miles away, Bellows says urban farms provide a local
option that give consumers better tasting, more nutritious food.
.
Urban farms also offer local education programs that teach community
members how to cook vegetables to retain the most nutrients. On many of
these farms, like Common Good City Farm, volunteers can earn a free bag of
fresh produce every week by spending a few? hours planting, weeding or
harvesting at the farm.

A connection to growing food makes all the difference for healthy
lifestyles for city kids, Callahan says.
