Urban farmer : Production farmer
Stamp collector : Postal person
In this commentary, the author expresses a concern for how urban farming can at times be hyped without question. Being very much in love with urban gardens myself, I admit that these concerns should absolutely be thought about - topsoil conservation, water efficiency, and knowledge requirements. Rural farms and dedicated farmers exist for a reason.
