Sustainable Urban farming

Sustainable farming 

Sustainable urban farming will address food scarcity or hunger and low income levels at house holds especially in urban areas.

The scale of the problem is high , this is visible in a way that most urban families are experiencing food crisis and some are unable to even buy food.

Lack of enough farming land and population increase have been proved to be the major causes of the catastrophe.

Climate change whereby planting seasons have changed and this has also contributed to the problem.

The problem has lead to malnutrition in children.

Hunger and poverty have also been the effects resulting from the problem. 

The solution aims at creating a campaign in urban schools where by learners will be encouraged to do and participate in urban farms at school. We are targeting learners because they are good ambassadors for the solution to their communities.

Later the campaign will be launched and extended to urban homesteads by teaching people how to utilize plastic containers as urban gardens .

The solution involves using of locally available materials like sacks , plastic containers to act as gardens 

The targeted group of people are the urban citizens who have to buy food on a daily basis . According to how I have organized the solution roadmap these people will learn how to grow their own food and this will solve the problem of spending on food.

I am an Agricultural student holding a Diploma in tropical agriculture and irrigation technology. I have been doing urban farming for nearly 5 years. I have managed to establish many urban farms at my home and I have been able to earn from them. 

I have already trained one primary school around Kampala city specifically oh how to farm sustainably with limited or no land.
