What traditional farming techniques
that can be adjusted for urban farming? How can people grow food
using minimal space (urban micro farming)? Are there traditional ways
to create communities around this concept of farming? What special
traditional plants could have an unusual high value for disadvantaged
urban communities? How can these concepts be used to harness urban
gardens for other means? We want to investigate on:
-
low cost urban micro farming
concepts like sack and container gardening. -
food supplementation by small
scale Spirulina
algae growing in PET bottles.
-
roof gardens and their impact on
increasing food security, house cooling. -
fertilizer production by using
biomass from gardens and others sources. -
growing Moringa trees and
use its seeds for water purification.
