zero-acreage farming
Definition
A complete explanation of the intended meaning of a concept- Tous les types d'agriculture urbaine caractérisés par la non-utilisation de terres agricoles ou d'espaces ouverts, en utilisant plutôt des espaces autrement inutilisés des bâtiments urbains.
- Zero acreage farming refers to all production of food on or in buildings with zero-acreage of extra land needed; it includes open-air rooftop farming, rooftop greenhouses, indoor farming and other forms. By using idle and spare space to grow vegetables, the demand for local food consumption can, to a certain extent, be met.

Scope note
Notes about the usage and scope of the concept.- Specht et al. (2013) introduced the term “zero-acreage farming” (ZFarming) to describe all types of urban agriculture characterised by the non-use of farmland or open space, thereby differentiating building-related forms of urban agriculture from those in parks, gardens, or urban wastelands.
