    While I love and support urban farms, would it really be enough space to feed everyone? Google says that each person would need about 600 sqft of space to grow the food they’d need, multiplied by the millions of people in a city… I just don’t see how the numbers work.

      That is a valid concern. I doubt all the pressure of food distribution would be only on urban farmers it would have to be a coalition of multiple food sources to support people with no capitol. Half a million people in my city would require 6887 acres to feed everyone. Sounds like we got some saving seizing to do.
