Over a year, the farm reported a 40% reduction in water usage and a significant increase in community engagement.

Innovative Techniques

  • Vertical Farming: Maximizing space efficiency.
  • Rainwater Harvesting: Sustainable water sourcing.
  • Community Workshops: Educating locals on sustainable practices.

The urban farm serves as a model for integrating sustainability into food production.
