Urban agriculturecan help contribute to decreasing the net release of CO2 emissions, one of thegas that contributes to global warming, from activities in cities. If citiesare producing more food within their borders, bringing places of production andmarkets closer to each other, the transport of products can be reduced; this willcontribute to reducing carbon emissions and other pollutant gases.

Urbanagriculture is also a way to reducing the net discharge of CO2, because plantsand trees capture CO2. The captive capacity is at its highest in the developmentperiod of vegetation. Through agricultural activities in cities, urbanecosystems are kept persistently in their “primary production phase”; whichmeans that much more CO2 per surface area is captured than in natural systemslike tropical forests. In cities, however, much of the carbon stored invegetation is likely to be quickly released through decomposition of organicmatter and there may be little lasting benefit. ·      Reducecarbon emission Thereason why urban farming in and on the buildings is gaining popularity isbecause they can have all the advantages of urban conditions.
