You receive an email from a friend who has heard about urban farming.

Hi Masliza,
Hope you aren’t too busy with your urban farming to read my mail. I keep hearing
about this new development from a few quarters. Personally, I’m not keen about it.

farming to the farmers. Anyway, why are you so keen about it? Please help me to
understand.
