<h2>Reading Passage: The Rise of Urban Farming</h2><p>Urban farming, the practice of cultivating food within city limits, has gained massive popularity in recent years. As cities grow more crowded, traditional agriculture faces challenges like high transportation costs and carbon emissions. In response, city planners and environmentalists are turning to vertical farming and rooftop gardens. These innovative methods not only provide fresh produce to local communities but also significantly reduce the "food miles" — the distance food travels from farm to table. Furthermore, urban green spaces help lower city temperatures, combating the "urban heat island" effect that plagues many modern metropolises.</p><h2>Questions: Fill in the Blanks</h2><p><i><strong>NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS)</strong>&nbsp;</i></p><ol><li>Traditional agriculture is becoming less efficient due to increased city crowding and expensive <strong>________________</strong>.</li><li>Rooftop gardens and vertical farming are two solutions that help decrease <strong>________________</strong> by bringing food production closer to consumers.</li><li>Creating more green areas in cities is also a good way to reduce <strong>________________</strong>.</li></ol>
