"Small-scale agriculture in Yokohama thrives as a form of urban farming within Japan's second-largest city, where farmland covers about 7-8% of the area despite dense urbanization.The focus is on recreation, food education, local freshness, preserving green space against development, and sustainability — not large commercial output. Demand is high, with many gardens having waitlists, reflecting urban residents' interest in hands-on growing and nature connection."
