Bringing Farming to the City
Urban agriculture is becoming an increasingly important part of Nairobi’s food system. With rapid urbanization and limited space, innovative farming methods are being employed to produce fresh food within the city, contributing to food security and reducing the carbon footprint associated with food transportation.
Rooftop Gardens
Rooftop gardens are sprouting up across Nairobi, transforming unused urban spaces into productive agricultural areas. These gardens provide fresh vegetables and herbs, enhance building insulation, and contribute to urban greening efforts.
Hydroponics and Aquaponics
Hydroponic and aquaponic systems are being utilized to grow crops without soil, using nutrient-rich water solutions. These systems are highly efficient, using less water and space than traditional farming methods, making them ideal for urban environments.
Community Gardens
Community gardens are fostering social cohesion and providing residents with access to fresh produce. These gardens not only help improve food security but also offer educational opportunities and promote healthy eating habits among urban dwellers.
