在英国,热衷于种菜的不再仅仅是园艺师了,很多普通的市民也加入进来。而在美国,很多城市,如纽约、洛杉矶和西雅图等,都已开展了城市农场项目。旧金山市市长建议社区居民在城市空地上种菜;一家名叫BK Farm yards的农场在纽约州的几大城市建立起网络,利用城市居民的空置后院、屋顶种植粮食蔬菜,提供空地的家庭能以较低的价格享用该农场种植的蔬果。并且如果房屋所有人在屋顶种植绿色植物,还会有一定的免税奖励。 In the UK, it is no longer just gardeners who are keen to grow vegetables. Many ordinary citizens have joined in. In the United States, many cities, such as New York, Los Angeles and Seattle, have started urban farm projects. The mayor of San Francisco advises community residents to grow vegetables on open areas; a farm named BK Farm yards establishes networks in several major New York City cities, using vacant backyards of urban residents, planting food and vegetables on rooftops, and providing homes for open spaces. Enjoy the fruits and vegetables grown on the farm at a lower price. And if the homeowner grows green plants on the roof, there will be a certain tax exemption.
