Agronomical Shelter As An Education Center For Urban Farming Awareness

Abstract

As people become more conscious of the food supply chain and its influence on the environment, it becomes evident that much more work is required to make a significant change. By localising crop supply, urban farming aims to reduce the carbon footprint associated with mass production and distribution. In addition to tackling challenges of urban food insecurity, the concept aims to make healthy food both affordable and accessible to those who need it. In 2018, urban farming is a contentious topic. When you consider the rise of the eco-friendly movement, which has been fuelled by increased awareness of global warming, as well as the global economic climate over the last decade, the trend toward sustainable living makes perfect sense.
