Major Driver Impacting Market Growth
The decreasing availability of farmland is expected to propel the growth of the urban farming market in the coming years. Farmland is described as land employed for or ideal for farming, comprising cultivable land cultivated by plowing, planting, and reaping crops, as well as pasture or countryside used to graze cattle. Urban farming creatively addresses the challenge of diminishing farmland in urban centers by maximizing land utilization, promoting sustainability, and providing residents with access to fresh produce, thereby mitigating the impact of urbanization on traditional agriculture. For instance, in January 2024, according to the survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a US-based federal institution responsible for overseeing agriculture, there were 2.00 million farms in the United States in 2022, a decrease from 2.20 million compared to the last two decades. Similarly, farmland acres continue to decline, falling to 893 million acres in 2022 from 915 million acres. Therefore, the decreasing availability of farmland is driving the urban farming market.
