Abstract
Agriculture has long been considered a discipline of the working-class and has a deep-rooted history in sociological structures of societies. It is the practice that allowed the human race to settle down and erect cities, but it has also been the industry which has led to societal conflicts and problems. A once considered a rural practice, agriculture has now begun a transition to the urban environment. Urban agriculture is vital to individuals residing in cities and has economic, education, environmental health and social benefits. Recently, the challenges of public policy have halted and staggered the implementation of urban agriculture programs. Many working-class Americans living in large cities have successfully overcome public policy challenges and are currently producing food within cities. Globally, urban agricultural activities occur in cities with varying government support and success, providing working-class individuals with varied opportunities to grow healthy food for themselves and support themselves economically.
