The document describes a proposed system for urban fog farming. Nylon mesh humidity catchers would be installed above existing settlements and combined with vegetation. The transpiration from the plants would add extra humidity to the air captured by the nets. A drip irrigation system using locally-made ceramic pots would provide a controlled, low level of water to the plants. This approach would make efficient use of available space and humidity while requiring minimal water through a low-cost irrigation method.

2. URBAN FOG FARMING
By facilitating a densification in height above existing settlements, open areas can be utilized for urban
fog farming, as assuring basic substenance.
Humidity cathers are here combined with vegetation, which because of its transpiration will add ekstra
humidity to the nets.
