Urban Organic Farming: Growing Food Sustainably in Cities

Abstract The global expansion in urbanization is posing serious challenges to our food systems. As cities expand and agricultural land is exhausted, there is a pressing need for innovative and sustainable food production techniques. Urban organic gardening has becoming more and more popular as a possible solution to these issues. Small land plots, roofs, vertical gardens, and public spaces are all used in urban organic farming to promote sustainable lifestyles. It assists communities to re-establish a connection with nature, and produce nutritious food. Growing crops and raising cattle within a city's borders using organic practices is known as urban organic farming. It entails cultivating food in urban environments, including rooftop gardens, communal gardens, vertical buildings, and other small urban land plots. The objective is to grow food in a sustainable manner without the use of artificial fertilizers, pesticides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). In nations where there is an increasing demand for food and a need for greater space, the practice is becoming more and more common. Because of these factors, urban farming is also thriving in India. Furthermore, a number of programs in India are encouraging urban farming and addressing the country's growing food needs.
