The problem this is seeking to fix is to localize food production as best as possible. And that's in the context of the current situation, where food is not produced in the outskirts, but halfway across the world. Purchasing land 30 miles outside of a city falls well within the confines of urban agriculture, especially since indoor ag means a year-long growing cycle. This means that Detroit or Iceland don't need to rely on South American growers for certain seasonal items. The small shipping distance necessary for putting these in New Jersey, greater Chicagoland, etc., there's no argument against that, but yet, people keep citing downtown Manhattan as impractical for farming. Of course it's impractical for farming, it's damn near impractical for living.
