It addresses the pressing threat of urban development encroaching on farmland and advocates for a balanced approach to urban growth that considers both housing needs and agricultural viability. By integrating the impacts of environmental change and global demographics, it calls for the inclusion of these farmers' voices in discussions about future urban food sustainability.
