If urban agriculture practices were fully employed across San Antonio's 16,800 acres of underutilized public land, that property could yield nearly a billion pounds of food annually,The study is the result of a year-long collaboration between Stanford's Natural Capital Project , the Food Policy Council of San Antonio and three San Antonio city departments. Scientists examined the impact of two types of urban agriculture on city land: urban farming and the creation of food forests.
If the same underutilized land was used to create food forests — a type of agriculture in which perennial crops like fruits and nuts are planted in layers resembling a natural ecosystem — it would yield 192 million pounds of food annually, the report shows. That would be enough to feed nearly 314,000 households.
