As the world urbanizes rapidly, the number of cities increases. They grow bigger over time and often become disconnected from their rural zones producing food. How we will manage to feed these cities in the future is a truly existential question for the majority of the world’s population. Cities consume 80% of the food worldwide, while 80% of the food is still produced in rural areas.
