[{"role": "system", "content": "Urban agriculture, urban farming, or urban gardening is the practice of cultivating, processing, and distributing food in or around a village, town, or city. Urban agriculture can also involve animal husbandry, aquaculture, agroforestry, urban beekeeping, and horticulture. These activities occur in peri-urban areas as well, and peri-urban agriculture may have different characteristics. Urban agriculture can reflect varying levels of economic and social development. In the global north, it often takes the form of a social movement for sustainable communities, where organic growers, \u2018foodies,\u2019 and \u2018locavores\u2019 form social networks founded on a shared ethos of nature and community holism. These networks can evolve when receiving formal institutional support, becoming integrated into local town planning as a \u2018transition town\u2019 movement for sustainable urban development. In the developing south, food security, nutrition, and income generation are key motivations for the practice. In either case, more direct access to fresh vegetables, fruits, and meat products through urban agriculture can improve food security and food safety. Community wastes were used in ancient Egypt to feed urban farming.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Urban agriculture is the practice of cultivating, processing, and distributing food in or around a city."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That sounds like a great concept.
