About Us

Ruth Meghiddo, AIA

Architect & Urban Farming Consultant

Ruth’s passion for urban farming began decades earlier, as a student at UCLA. There, she published a pioneering thesis in sustainability, “Agriculture in Urban Environments: City and Farm Romance.” Her background in architecture and urban design inspired her to create edible garden solutions. She founded Farm Urbana to help urban residents experience nutritious, chemical-free, fresh food.
