Read the passage "The Rise of Urban Gardens". Which of the following best states the main idea? Passage: "Across many large cities, vacant lots and rooftops are being transformed into productive gardens. Proponents argue that urban agriculture improves food security by shortening supply chains and gives residents direct control over what they eat. Critics counter that yields from small city plots remain modest and that the land could instead be used for affordable housing. Yet the most striking effect of these gardens may be social: neighbours who once had little contact now cooperate on shared tasks, and crime in surrounding blocks has fallen measurably in several documented cases. As one study concluded, the gardens grow far more than vegetables."
- Urban gardens have significant social benefits beyond producing food.
- Urban gardens produce enough food to make cities self-sufficient.
- Rooftop gardens are more productive than gardens on vacant lots.
- Vacant city land should be used for affordable housing rather than gardens.
