Urban farming is the practice of growing edible plants in urban spaces like backyards and unused plots. It provides many benefits like reducing food miles and energy used for transportation since food is produced locally. With half the world's population living in cities, urban farming can help meet the food needs of city dwellers and reduce costs since currently many spend 40-60% of income on food. It takes little space and resources like sun, water, organic waste and containers to start urban farming on balconies, terraces, schools, offices or other public spaces in the city. Proper containers, soil mix, seed sowing and care techniques can be used to successfully grow a variety of herbs, vegetables, fruits and greens through

The document outlines the process of fertilizer production, which involves producing ammonia, ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate, and potassium chloride, then granulating and bagging the final product. It discusses different types of fertilizers including complete vs incomplete, soluble vs insoluble, and organic vs inorganic. While organic fertilizers are natural and improve soil health long-term, inorganic fertilizers provide immediate nutrients and higher crop yields needed to feed the world's growing population. Fertilizers have become essential for agriculture due to low organic matter in soils and increasing food demand.

Biochar Demonstration | Warm Heart Foundation
Warm Heart was given the opportunity to present the Biochar Project as a complimentary solution to the “Action Plan 2016,” aimed to prevent and resolve smog in Northern Thailand.
The Deputy Governor of Chiang Mai as well as representatives from the forestry department, district offices, ministries of agriculture and energy, Long Khot Police, the British and Austrian Honorary Consuls, and Charoen Pokphand (CP) were shown that biochar is an inexpensive and effective technology that can safely and easily be used by villagers, farmers, and small local government units.
We are happy to announce that as a result of the presentation, Warm Heart is scheduled to provide biochar training to 4 districts including Phrao, Samoeng, Chiang Dao, and Mae Chaem.
Together we will work to reduce smoke and its devastating effects on public health and climate change!
Warm Heart is a grassroots organization that helps Thai villagers in the remote northern district of Phrao, Chiang Mai Province. We organize community projects that provide access to improved education and basic health services, create jobs and sustainable incomes for the poorest in our community, and restore the environment so it will sustain future generations.

Tower Garden Presentation
The document discusses challenges facing modern farming and potential solutions. Personal challenges include limited resources like land and water as well as labor intensity. Global challenges involve population growth outpacing available farmland. Future farming methods may be soilless using drip irrigation, hydroponics, or aeroponics to optimize water and space. These innovative approaches could help address issues of sustainability, urban growth, and food security in the 21st century.
Farming Methods
The document defines and explains different types of agriculture including terrace farming, extensive agriculture, and slash and burn agriculture. Terrace farming uses stepped terraces to farm steep slopes and prevent erosion. Extensive agriculture uses small amounts of labor, fertilizers, and capital relative to land area. Slash and burn agriculture causes deforestation in tropical areas. The document also discusses factors affecting agriculture like growing populations, modern technologies, steps of farming including soil preparation, sowing, fertilizing, irrigating, harvesting, and storing.
Nature Mentors URBAN FOREST PPT.pdf
The document discusses creating dense, fast-growing urban forests using the Miyawaki method to help address climate change and lack of green spaces in cities. It describes how Miyawaki forests can grow 30 times faster than conventional plantings, absorbing more carbon and benefits. Within 2 years they are maintenance-free, creating woodlands in small areas that provide environmental benefits for decades. The method helps restore biodiversity and green cover in urban areas through native species plantings.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
