dc.description.abstractThe world has grown to rely on large-scale, industrialized farming methods. The industrialized farming style of production is characterized as having higher crop yield than other forms of farming, making it more favorable than alternative farming methods. Meanwhile, localized agriculture has been overlooked in the public eye. This literature review defines local agriculture, explains economic developments, and lists the benefits of increased reliance on local farming. Throughout this paper, we explore and endorse the integration of localized agriculture within large-scale urban markets. A proposed conceptual framework was developed within the writing to promote the symbiotic relationship between local markets and vendors. Overall, this review suggests the potential of localized agriculture to alleviate various social, economic, and environmental problems. Benefits include public health, improved local economy, and sustainable local farming. Given the misconceptions about localized agriculture, we aim to educate consumers on the implications and effects of their purchasing choices.en
