An idea that would not need produce to be transported long distances for human consumption. It would also try to lower the fast rate of urban sprawl, as people wouldn’t need a big backyard to grow a garden.
-Within a community there would be a garden where they can grow fresh herbs, fruit, veggies, etc.
-It could possibly be in a vacant block, or an old warehouse (that could be transformed into a hothouse using recycled materials, cheaper $$ and more sustainable)
- Could also integrate an environmental learning centre within the premises, which will educate children and adults about problems facing the environment and what they can do to help.
- The entire premises will be sustainable, using solar power, rainwater, and also have local composting (which will go back into the garden)
