As populations grow and environmental impacts increase, urban agriculture can help address food security issues by producing food closer to populations. Urban agriculture takes many forms, from micro-farming in and around homes, to community gardens, institutional gardens, and various small-scale commercial farms raising plants, livestock, and fish. It is a creative solution to challenges cities face in feeding their residents.
Traditional farms and villages were largely self-sufficient, with families producing most of their own food. After industrialization, agriculture became specialized and efficient but less self-sufficient. Farms employed outside workers rather than families. Rural populations declined as people moved to cities for jobs. Cities grew enormously due to industrialization, with new urban planning models emerging like garden cities. However, cities became overly specialized and vulnerable. Now, urban farming is emerging to address issues of specialization, health, and social isolation in cities by producing food and green space and encouraging physical activity, education and teamwork among urban residents.
This document discusses the possibilities of urban agriculture. It notes that while traditional crops like wheat, corn, and rice require large fields and are not ideal for urban farming, wheat and potentially rice could still be grown in cities under certain conditions. Fruit trees and vegetables are also discussed as crops that can be grown in urban areas. Community gardens are highlighted as a way to grow vegetables in cities, and issues around fruit trees in urban environments, like property rights and disease management, are addressed.
This document provides an overview and definitions of green roofs and green walls. It discusses the history and types of green roofs, including extensive green roofs which have thin growing mediums and require low maintenance, and intensive green roofs which are thicker and require permanent irrigation. Extensive green roofs are well-suited to existing buildings, while intensive can function as outdoor gardens but require stronger building structures. Green walls can be real walls containing growing medium or surfaces covered with climbing plants, and are categorized as indoor or outdoor, with outdoor types requiring continuous irrigation.
This document discusses plans for an urban agriculture project in China. It aims to improve food safety and access to organic produce through education and demonstration projects. The project will convert a rooftop into an urban farm to showcase different urban farming methods like container gardening and composting. An exhibition center will be built on the rooftop to educate the public on topics like household gardening, food safety, waste management, and sustainable agriculture techniques through workshops and demonstrations. The goal is to empower communities and increase awareness of environmental issues through hands-on learning about urban agriculture.
Slides from a talk on urban gardening given as part of the Limerick Lifelong Learning festival on March 23, 2013. We showcased our UL Community Rooftop Garden before and after the talk.
This talk is a visual journey through some of the many creative ways that people are cultivating their urban environments. From the secret night pursuits of guerrilla gardeners to the work of neighbours at the local community garden, there are lots of inspirational people creating exciting spaces around our cities.

The document proposes establishing rooftop gardens at the Railway Station in Dunedin, New Zealand to demonstrate the environmental, social, and economic benefits of urban agriculture. Key points:
1) Rooftop gardens can provide local food production, increase energy efficiency of buildings, reduce stormwater and heat absorption, and beautify urban landscapes.
2) The proposed gardens would incubate new technologies and designs for global markets while enriching the local community.
3) There is increasing global demand for sustainable urban agriculture solutions that address issues like resource use, health, and livability. The rooftop gardens could help meet this demand by developing products and services.
This document provides an overview of rooftop gardening and outlines the key steps to plan a rooftop garden. It discusses the urban heat island effect and how rooftop gardens can help reduce temperatures. The main types of rooftop gardens - container gardens and green roof systems - are described. Planning steps include evaluating the roof's condition and structural capacity, determining garden weight and design, and selecting appropriate plants. Case studies of the City Hall rooftop garden in Chicago are also presented.
The document discusses the issues related to pesticide use in agriculture and its effects on health and the environment. It notes that pesticide levels in breast milk samples were much higher than allowed levels and caused problems in newborns like hydrocephalus. High contamination from pesticides was also found in water, soil and the environment. The overuse of pesticides is reducing the symbiotic relationship between soil and plants and impacting agricultural productivity. It promotes the use of organic farming techniques like composting, use of indigenous seeds and crop rotation to grow food without the use of chemicals. The document encourages terrace and kitchen gardening using organic methods to produce safe, nutritious food in urban areas.
This document discusses various features of gardening, including garden walls, fencing, steps, drives and paths, hedges, and how to start a hedge. It provides details on constructing garden walls, different types of fencing materials, considerations for steps, and methods for gravel, asphalt, concrete, brick, stone, grass, and crazy paving drives and paths. It also outlines purposes of hedges, criteria for selecting hedge plants, and how to prepare the land and plant a hedge.

THE RISE OF ROOFTOP GARDENS IN INFORMALLY DEVELOPED AREAS IN EGYPT: EXPLORING...Iman Gawad
This document discusses the potential for rooftop gardens in informally developed areas of Egypt. It explores the environmental, social, and economic benefits of rooftop gardening, as well as examples from other parts of the world. However, rooftop gardens face challenges in hot arid climates like Egypt where irrigation is needed. The document outlines organizations in Egypt experimenting with rooftop hydroponic farming and the barriers to wider implementation, such as lack of standards and plant selection challenges. It concludes by arguing for the development of Egyptian guidelines and more research on suitable plant species.
The document summarizes the evolution of housing from nomadic tribes to modern times. It discusses how housing changed as societies became more settled with the development of agriculture and animal domestication. It describes the transition from temporary shelters to planned towns and cities. It then outlines key changes in house design and living standards over time, from Roman homes to medieval structures to modern suburban developments. Housing trends like urbanization and challenges in India are also examined.
Urban farming has occurred in various forms throughout history. Some of the earliest cities like Catal-Hoyuk and Jericho grew crops outside dense settlements. Permanent crop-based settlements allowed for urbanization. Exceptions included oasis cities which could farm within walls due to protective deserts. Floating cities like Tenochtitlan farmed lakes. Modern public parks in the 18th century separated recreation from farming. The Garden City movement brought urban farming into cities in the late 19th century. State socialism increased urban farming in 20th century Eastern Europe. Recent high-tech methods include hydroponics and closed farms under artificial lights.
This document provides an introduction to an urban agriculture course. It discusses definitions of urban agriculture, noting that over half the world's population lives in cities. Reasons for urban agriculture include issues of food security, environmental sustainability, and community development. Examples of urban agriculture are discussed for different regions, including Los Angeles. The history of urban agriculture is reviewed, from victory gardens to current initiatives. Methods and considerations for urban agriculture are also introduced.
Sir Ebenezer Howard was a pioneer of town planning who developed the concept of the garden city. He was influenced by the overcrowding and poor conditions he witnessed in cities like London and Chicago. Howard proposed that towns and countryside each had benefits and drawbacks, but that a new type of settlement combining their advantages could be created. This was the garden city - a self-contained community surrounded by greenbelt land, with proportionate areas for housing, industry and agriculture. The first examples of garden cities were Letchworth and Welwyn, which aimed to provide the benefits of both urban and rural living.
Animal domestication has occurred relatively rarely and attempts often fail. Subsistence agriculture involves growing only enough food for survival. The Green Revolution led to increased food production but also dependence on chemicals and loss of seed control. Agricultural practices impact gender relations and environments.

This document defines agriculture and outlines its scope. It begins by defining agriculture as the science and art of cultivating plants and livestock. It then discusses several areas within the scope of agriculture, including agricultural production, common crops and livestock, processing, marketing, and agriculture's influence on today's society. It notes that a single farmer now produces enough food for 80 people compared to 10 people in the 1930s due to increased efficiency. It also lists various crops, livestock, and jobs related to agricultural processing and marketing. In conclusion, it emphasizes agriculture's significant economic and social impacts in the United States and beyond.

The document provides information about various modern era town planners like Sir Patrick Geddes, Sir Ebenezer Howard, Clarence Stein, Sir Patrick Abercrombie, and Le Corbusier. It discusses their key contributions, including Geddes' concept of regional planning, Howard's garden city movement and three magnet diagram, Stein's neighborhood unit concept, Abercrombie's post-war planning of London and other cities, and Le Corbusier's design of Chandigarh. It also covers principles of neighborhood design and classification and distribution of settlements in India.
Sir Ebenezer Howard proposed the garden city concept to combine the benefits of town and country living. A garden city would be self-sufficient, surrounded by a greenbelt, and limited in size. The first garden cities built based on Howard's ideas were Letchworth and Welwyn in England in the early 1900s. They featured concentric designs with green spaces, separate zones for housing, industry, and agriculture, and an emphasis on community.
Agriculture Making a Difference by Christopher Bowler Cream of the Crop 2009 Art4Agriculture
This document provides information about opportunities in agriculture and the importance of attracting young people to careers in agribusiness. It discusses the challenges of needing to produce more food to feed a growing global population with fewer resources and in a changing climate. The document emphasizes that agriculture is challenging but vital work, and encourages pursuing agriculture education and careers to make a positive difference.
Community-supported agriculture (CSA) models emerged in response to concerns about the modern industrial food system and national food security. CSA aims to reconnect consumers and producers by having community members share the risks of food production through advance payments to farmers. This session reviewed different CSA structures in the UK, including community-owned cooperatives and farms that provide members with a share of produce. While CSAs promote alternative and localized approaches to food, their marginal scale and complex operations present challenges to significantly changing the mainstream food system.
Carrot City: The impact of food on the design of cities and buildings - Mark ...SBCBreakfastSessions
1) The document discusses the relationship between cities, agriculture, and food systems. It argues that reintegrating urban agriculture into cities can help address issues of food security, public health, and environmental sustainability.
2) Examples are provided of cities like Havana, Cuba that produce a large percentage of their own food within city limits through urban farms and community gardens. Initiatives in other cities like London are also transforming vacant urban spaces into productive agricultural lands.
3) The document advocates for the redesign of cities, buildings, and homes to better integrate food production and processing. Examples of innovative urban agriculture projects and designs are presented.
Native American Foodsheds - Guest Speaker Brian PottsJenSantry
This document discusses barriers to urban agriculture from zoning regulations. It explains that while zoning aims to promote quality communities, the separation of land uses and focus on aesthetics sometimes unintentionally prohibit growing food at home. Modern lifestyles and economic needs have led many to take up small-scale farming as a hobby or business, but zoning has not always kept pace. The document explores how regulations around mixed uses, plant heights, and homeowners association rules can hinder front yard gardening. It raises questions about how to better support growing food where people live and whether communities can produce enough food locally.
Communities in Soweto, South Africa have turned to gardening to address food insecurity as Soweto is considered a massive "food desert". Local community leader Whisky Monama facilitates the planting of vegetable gardens in library yards and other public spaces to provide fresh produce and address hunger. Whisky will travel to the United States to share her knowledge of community gardening and development with students and help build international connections to support continued community gardening efforts in Soweto.

From Green Roots to Green Shoots - How did Bristol develop its sustainability...NetImpactBristol
This document summarizes the development of Bristol's sustainability movement from the 1970s to present day. It describes how citizen groups came together in the 1970s to oppose an outer circuit road project, leading to the founding of organizations like Bristol Friends of the Earth and Cyclebag (now Sustrans). These groups pioneered recycling, energy efficiency, and active transportation initiatives. The document also notes the importance of cross-sector collaboration and how youth programs and local government support helped sustainability organizations gain traction in Bristol. It concludes by reflecting on how Bristol became the UK's first Transition City and a 2015 European Green Capital.
Planning Green Roofs and Green Walls Growing medium and plantsOláh András Béla
The document discusses the requirements for growing mediums and plant selection for extensive and intensive green roofs. For extensive green roofs, the growing medium must be lightweight, well-draining, and low in organic content to avoid weeds. Recommended materials include perlite, brick rubble, and slag. Sedum species and mosses are suitable plant selections as they can withstand long dry periods. For intensive green roofs, the growing medium requires greater organic content to support trees, shrubs and turf. Plant selections must be durable in windy and dry conditions without aggressive roots or fragile branches. The design should provide wind protection through architectural elements like walls or columns.
Planning Green Roofs and Green Walls Ecological and climatic effectsOláh András Béla
The document discusses the ecological and climatic effects of green roofs. It notes that green roofs are not suitable everywhere and their effectiveness depends on local climate conditions. Green roofs can help mitigate urban heat islands and reduce temperature extremes. They also slow rainfall absorption to reduce stormwater loads. However, green roofs may increase mosquito habitats near buildings. Overall, properly planned green roofs can provide environmental benefits but also have disadvantages to consider regarding local ecology and public health.
Planning Green roofs and Green Walls Structural designOláh András Béla
The document discusses the history and design of green roofs. It provides two historical examples - the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, which was one of the first green roofs built using layers of reeds and brick, and the Scandinavian sod roof, which utilized multiple layers of birch bark and sod. Modern green roof technology began in the 1960s in Germany when waterproof membranes became available. There are several structural layers involved - a filter membrane, drainage layer, root barrier, waterproof membrane, and insulation. The design can vary depending on whether it is an intensive or extensive green roof.
This document discusses opportunities for urban farming in coastal cities. It notes that traditional farming will likely not be able to meet the food demands of growing megacities in the future. Coastal cities offer opportunities for urban farming using floating platforms in shallow coastal waters and exploiting the layers of fresh and saltwater in estuaries and river deltas. Specific opportunities highlighted include using river deltas in Asia for rice farming and harnessing the Nile River delta's freshwater resources.
Water surfaces like rivers and lakes play an important role in cities by providing water resources, transportation routes, and open spaces. They can be used for recreation, industry, and as ports. The document discusses using the unbuilt areas around water surfaces for urban farming through various floating platform designs. These could grow food in the water or on surfaces above the water, irrigated through different methods like rainwater or connecting to the water below. Historical examples include the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan built on lakes and floating settlements on Lake Titicaca. Contemporary designs include floating gardens on the River Seine in Paris and conceptual floating garden cities.
The document discusses present and future urban problems and potential solutions. It identifies current problems such as air pollution, traffic issues, building density concerns, and ecological degradation. Solutions proposed include using natural gas vehicles, improving public transport, and increasing green spaces. Future problems mentioned are shortages of water, food, and energy if consumption patterns continue. New social structures may also emerge. Urban farming is suggested as a solution that could help address issues of resource scarcity by producing food locally.
This document provides an overview of urban climate and the urban heat island effect. It discusses climate at different scales from macro to micro, and how cities create their own mesoclimate. Key points include:
- Urban areas experience higher temperatures than surrounding rural areas, creating an "urban heat island" effect. The temperature difference increases with city size.
- Cities warm up more during the day due to heat absorption and release more heat at night from man-made surfaces. This disrupts the normal diurnal temperature cycle.
- Surface temperatures measured from aerial/satellite images can be higher than air temperatures felt by humans. Different urban land uses like vegetation versus buildings impact local surface heating.
High-level methods for urban farming include hydroponics, aquaponics, aeroponics, and using artificial light. Hydroponics grows plants without soil by placing roots in nutrient-rich water or clay granules. Aquaponics combines hydroponics with fish farming, where the fish waste fertilizes the plants and the plants clean the water. Aeroponics uses mist as the water and nutrient source. Artificial light can provide plants with the specific wavelengths they need for photosynthesis. These controlled-environment farming methods allow for year-round production and use resources efficiently for applications in urban areas and other isolated places.
This document discusses opportunities for urban farming in densely populated urban areas. It outlines some of the challenges of urban farming in different urban contexts like housing estates, industrial zones, downtown areas, and around large buildings. Some key challenges mentioned include lack of green space, large buildings covering areas, and property issues. However, the document also discusses potential solutions like community gardens, fruit trees on public land, green roofs of different intensities, vertical farming on buildings, water management systems, and using wastewater for irrigation. Urban farming is presented as a viable option when addressing these challenges through innovative solutions and new building designs that incorporate food production.
Urban farming is well-suited for garden cities due to their low building density and large areas of land. The basic unit of a garden city is the family house with its surrounding garden, which is traditionally used for recreation but can also support minor food production. Many typical garden elements like trees, shrubs, perennial beds, and trellis structures have equivalents that can be used for growing food through practices such as aquaponics and mushroom farming. While crop production and traditional stock farming are not practical in small family house gardens, other types of food production like growing fruits, vegetables, herbs and ornamental crops are viable options.
The opportunities of the usage of additive manufacturing (3D printing) in the...Oláh András Béla
The document discusses the opportunities of additive manufacturing (3D printing) for creating new composite materials. It describes how additive manufacturing allows metal or thermoplastic matrices to be combined with ceramic aggregates to produce materials with optimized properties. Specifically, 3D printing can precisely distribute ceramic grains within a metal matrix during layer-by-layer melting. This enables properties like high compressive strength and hardness from the ceramic, combined with ductility and strength from the metal. Examples highlighted include knives with sand-like hardness and buildings with 10x greater load-bearing capacity. The document argues additive manufacturing of metal-ceramic composites could revolutionize industries like construction and defense.
This document proposes a vacuum tube train system as a revolutionary alternative for railway transport. Key points:
1) Trains would operate inside vacuum sealed tunnels, eliminating air resistance and allowing for extremely high speeds over 500 m/s (1800 km/h).
2) The tunnels would be separated from stations by double airlock doors for safety. This isolation also allows regenerative braking to capture kinetic energy.
3) Challenges include bearing types, power transmission at high speeds, and achieving a continuously variable transmission using conical shaped wheels on multiple rail pairs.
4) Benefits include very low energy consumption, possible speeds exceeding airplanes, and increased safety from isolating accidents in the tunnel.
1. The document proposes a new space travel propulsion system that uses a long evacuated tube to accelerate vehicles mechanically using helical and longitudinal chases.
2. Vehicles are accelerated within the tube to over 8km/s using fins and rotating cantilevers moving through the chases before exiting into the lower atmosphere.
3. Several challenges are addressed, including providing energy to vehicles in the tube, sealing the tube exit, and minimizing air drag after exit but before reaching orbit. Locating tube exits in mountainous areas and using heat shields, lasers, and pneumatic systems help solve these challenges.
This document proposes a new way of interplanetary transport using ion thrusters powered by palladium-hydride and superconducting technology. Some key points:
1) Current chemical rockets provide low speeds, requiring enormous fuel supplies for interplanetary travel. Ion thrusters offer higher speeds but need an external power source.
2) The design replaces xenon propellant with hydrogen stored in palladium-hydride, which serves as the propellant tank, ionization chamber, and positive electrode.
3) When superconducting, palladium-hydride can store and channel huge vortex currents for power and acceleration, potentially reaching relativistic speeds and magnetic sail propulsion. This radically increases attain
Practical Realisation of Nuclear Pulse PropulsionOláh András Béla
This document proposes a design for practical nuclear pulse propulsion that addresses issues with previous designs. It involves using aneutronic pure fusion bomblets to eliminate nuclear fallout, and directing the explosion energy using magnetically-driven implosions within a spherical geometry. The explosions would pump magnetic fields to contain and direct the plasma through a series of magnetic rings and generators, either reusing components for smaller repeated explosions or rebuilding the system after larger single explosions. The goal is an efficient propulsion method that overcomes limitations of prior nuclear pulse rocket attempts.
This document describes a new type of transparent concrete composed of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as the binder and glass as the aggregate. PET is a cheap, transparent plastic commonly used in bottles that can bind the glass aggregate when heated to 200 degrees Celsius. The resulting composite material is transparent like glass, but offers improved mechanical properties and reparability compared to glass alone. It is durable, weather resistant, fireproof, and can be reused or recycled after heating to melt the PET binder. The document argues this transparent concrete has many potential applications and environmental benefits due to the use of waste materials as the raw ingredients.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

21. Cairo I.
• Extremely huge and dense city. Typical Middle-East nad North-African
settlement. Very narrow shady streets, high, many storeyed houses,
unbroken row of buildings.
• As against typical desert settlements, in this case the river Nile
provides enough water for irrigation.
• Urban farming can be effectively made on rooftops.
• Great advantage is that the usual roofs are flat in this city
• The movement started in 2001, basically it has scientific (university)
origins
• There occur both traditional soiled gardens and hydroponic rooftop
farms.
• The main purpose is food production, huge number of inhabitants,
low rate of traditional food production (huge egyptian food import)
• Social benefits are relatively small in this case

26. Havana I.
• Organopónicos : In 1990 Cube lost its greatest trading partner, the
Sovietunion. About 50% of the cunsumed food were of soviet origin.
• They had to find a new way very fastly to provide the necessary food.
• This was a kind of urban agriculture. Simply soil filled concrete frames
with primitive watering.
• Extremely labour –intensive, but appropriate among those
circumstances.
• This food was organic (no one provided herbicides and fertilizers): the
origin of the spanish name.
• More than 35000 hectares only in Havana.

30. Mumbai I.
• Mumbai is the densest city on the planet
• There is hardly enough place for humans
• Urban farming is simply impossible on the way like Melbourne or
Boston
• Nevertheless, there is theproblem of organic waste in Mumbai
• Dr. R. T. Doshi started this new movement, used up all organic waste,
and creates compost by mixing them with soil. On this way the water
retaining ability of the growing medium is excellent.
• Moreover wasted plastic bags are used up for creating planting bags.
• The whole amount of organic waste can be consumed on this way
• Smaller plantations are favoured against greater urban farms.
• The main products of such farms are vegetables, fruits and flowers

• Moreover the city structure and regultion is a little bit different than
the european ones. Whole areas are belongs to the city, although,
some parts (districts) are quite rural. Urban farming is given.
• Moreover all kind of urban farming exist to be able to produce as
much food as possible
• These are high tech hydroponic farms, rooftop gardens (both with
traditional and hydroponic, covered or uncovered by glasshouses)
• Furthermore there is a great emphasis on closed loop biological
systems: it is similar to aquaponics, but not only fish, but other
animals (poultry) manure is used to fertilize crop plants, moreover
mulberry trees and silk worms are also involved in the system.

39. Montreal I.
• Based on community movements, but augmneted with high-tech
firms and technologies
• Lufa Farms is an agricultural and technological company, they created
the very first rooftop greenhouse in Montreal
• The main product is vegetable
• Considering northern countries (Canada and scandinavian states),
they have only 2 way for providing vegetables: import and
greenhouse production.
• Because of the basic necessity of greenhouse (heated greenhouse) it
is primarily to be close to public utilities, than the price of the area of
the farmland. Thus, it is worth economically to invent greenhouse on
greater rooftops
• High tech support (hydroponics) is almost given in canadian urban
circumstances, moreover they do not have to use herbicids.
