My mom loved gardening, back in our old house, she had a small garden to plant all types of vegetables, like tomatoes, lettuces, radishes, and many more. Unfortunately, we had to move to the city since I was assigned to work there leaving her alone was not an option. I knew my mom missed her garden so what I did was make her a small garden on our roof.
Back then I did not know that was Urban Farming, my main objective then was to make my mom happy. But when I watched I TV show about Urban Farming, I then realized that there were numerous benefits people can derive from it! Aside from utilizing unused lands and making them productive, my mom was also helping in providing clean air, and in fact I did realize that my food costs were reduced ever since the garden was made. In instances that my mom have extra produces she would even give some to our neighbors! It all came to me, that Urban Farming may be one of the ideas to battle food scarcity!
