Instructions ›
Read the text from an update on urban farming initiatives. Read the text and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
Urban farming initiatives are transforming city rooftops and vacant lots into productive green spaces, where communities can grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs. These projects not only provide fresh produce to urban residents but also contribute to biodiversity, improve air quality, and offer educational opportunities about sustainable living. A notable initiative, the SkyHarvest project, has become a model of urban agriculture, integrating technology to maximise yield and efficiency. Through the use of hydroponics and vertical farming, SkyHarvest produces food year-round, reducing the need for imports and thereby lowering the carbon footprint associated with food transportation.

Option 1: "Producing food year-round with minimal environmental impact"

Explanation: The text emphasizes that the SkyHarvest project utilizes hydroponics and vertical farming to produce food throughout the year. This continuous production not only ensures a steady supply of fresh produce but also highlights the project's role in reducing the carbon footprint associated with food transportation, thus showcasing its minimal environmental impact.

Option 2: "Creating job opportunities in technology sectors"

Explanation: While the text mentions the integration of technology in the SkyHarvest project, it does not state that this initiative creates job opportunities in technology sectors. Therefore, this option introduces information that is not present in the text.

Option 3: "Offering a new model for residential development"

Explanation: The text focuses on urban farming and the benefits it brings to communities, rather than discussing residential development. This option misinterprets the main theme of the text, which is about urban agriculture rather than housing.

Explanation: The text does not mention any direct impact of the SkyHarvest project on the overall cost of living in urban areas. While urban farming may contribute to lower food costs, this specific benefit is not addressed in the provided text, making this option incomplete.
