Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.

As cities continue to grow, a quiet movement is reshaping how some urban residents think about food. Rooftops, unused car parks, and even the walls of office buildings are being turned into small farms, ranging from simple community vegetable plots to fully automated vertical farms stacked several storeys high.

Advocates point to several clear advantages. Produce grown within a city typically travels only a few kilometres to reach a customer, rather than the hundreds or thousands of kilometres a truck or ship might otherwise cover, cutting both cost and carbon emissions. Community gardens also bring together neighbours who might otherwise never meet, and several schools now use nearby urban farms to teach students where their food actually comes from.

None of this suggests that urban farms will ever feed an entire city on their own. What they can do, according to most researchers in the field, is shorten supply chains for certain crops, reconnect city dwellers with where their food comes from, and turn otherwise wasted rooftop space into something productive, one small plot at a time.
