Sustainable Urban Cultivation
Sustainable Urban Cultivation
One in every 9 Indians is likely to develop cancer during their lifetime. Children with birth defects, ADHD and other issues are becoming more common than it was a few decades back. There are many diseases that have a direct or indirect link to excessive use of Pesticides, Herbicides and inorganic fertilizers.
The demographic ratio between Urban & Rural India is changing drastically every decade and the Urban population is increasing considerably. In this scenario, we at SILCAL FOUNDATION have embarked on a journey where homemakers will be involved in ushering in an organic revolution.
Strategies to Improve Sustainability
Urban cultivation is increasingly seen as a major part of ensuring the sustainability, equity, health, and resilience of cities through a more viable food system. SILCAL FOUNDATION looks at how urban and rural communities of varying sizes can implement effective strategies to support sustainable urban cultivation, so their citizens can have access to wholesome and secure food.
Sustainable urban cultivation is a concept that underscores the necessity of developing a food system that can withstand fluctuations, respects the environment and is accessible to all. Additionally, it takes into consideration the requirement for green spaces, the significance of local food production, and the need for community engagement.
The growth of city populations has made the need for sustainable agricultural practices more noticeable. Teaching children about sustainable urban farming can be particularly beneficial for the future of our cities with reaping benefits.
