San Francisco County in California, United States has implemented a new policy that offers property tax breaks to lot owners who allow their empty spaces to be transformed into an urban farm for 5 years. The initiative, part of a state-wide Urban Agricultural Incentives Zones law, will not only save money for lot owners but also provide food security for the nearby communities. In addition, transforming the abandoned lots into urban farms can also help boost the real estate values of the area and eventually benefit the local communities.
