Furniture-pot is a building block made from recycled materials that allows people to grow plants and vegetables using permaculture and urban agriculture concepts. It addresses issues like poor nutrition, environmental pollution, and unsustainability while providing people with the satisfaction of eating self-produced food. Questions are raised about how initiatives like Veggepot could be improved, how they contribute to change, and whether urban agriculture can help reduce global hunger and malnutrition.
