URBAN FARMING

We are helping urban communities make use of vacant spaces to grow vegetables. Often degraded open spaces and vacant land are used as informal waste dumpsites and are a source of crime and health problems. By turning them into productive green spaces we help improve communities’ livelihoods and make the world greener in the process. Due to rapid urbanization, the costs of supplying and distributing food to urban areas based on rural production and imports continue to hike as well as increase carbon emissions due to transportation. Growing fresh food close to consumers reduces energy spent in transport, processing and packaging.  Urban agriculture is also one of the viable options to not only help reduce our carbon footprint associated with ‘food miles’ but it contributes to healthy nutrition, food security and poverty alleviation.
