Question

Treditinal and modren farming benifits

Answer 1

During the past years, urban farming aka. growing food in urban areas has become a world-wide trend, and it keeps on growing (pun intended). It has become stylish, it is being claimed to be the future of food, and new "smart gardening" brands are popping up faster than ever. But what is it that makes urban farming so irresistible and seemingly superior to traditional farming in the century of urbanization?

1. It's more productive

With the help of urban farming, one can produce even so much as 100 times more food than with regular farming (per square foot). How is it possible? It's all about the direction - most urban farms are designed vertically, that allows to grow produce in as many levels as possible on a square foot. So, if you have 2 square feet of free space in your apartment, instead of having a corner of soil with lettuce growing there and moulding your nicely-finished walls, you can simply have a tasteful-looking urban farming system with lettuce growing in shelves...or behind your walls!

Ever heard of weather decreasing the yield in a certain year? Weather is a actually a very, very minor factor for food production via urban farming, since it usually takes place indoors and relies on the water system installed, artificial lighting, and nutrients already worked-in in the soil.

2. It's more sustainable

Most urban gardening systems lead to considerable water, power and space savings. If we talk about the Click & Grow urban farming systems, they use about 90% less water and 4 times less space, if compared to traditional farming. Many point out that starting an urban farm might be costly. In reality, an urban farm for $500 will "earn back" itself in a year.

But why make the investment? The thing is that that water, power and space savings aren't financially sustainable only. The more we switch our everyday food production to urban farms rather than regular farms, the more we decrease the development of drought, soil erosion and similar problems.

. Organic produce becomes more accessible

Urban farming forces farmers to grow crop in an even more controlled and conscious manner, which leads to more possibilities to grow organic food without extra investment. How is it possible? The main reason something isn't organic is because the farmer is forced to use chemical pesticides to ensure a good yield when the environmental factors are not crop-friendly. As we mentioned above, the weather, the environmental factor is reduced to minimum in urban farming, so there is no actual need for using chemical growth regulators. All it takes is a good quality soil that contains nutrients (and as we can see from our Smart Soil, there is no need to use harsh chemicals to ensure 99.9% productivity), excellent lighting system and good quality water.

4. It's small space friendly

Imagine Hong Kong, Dubai, London or New York. Not much space for growing your own, fresh food the traditional way, is there? Yes, you can have a tradition herb pot here and there, but it is not going to feed you. And if you do want to grow enough to be able to use the harvest for at least a week straight, you will be forced to have flowerpots everywhere. Literally, EVERYWHERE - on your bathroom sink, under your bathroom sink, under your bed, around your bed, on shelves, in cupboards... Oh, wait, they need light. Bigass windowsills all around the place it is. Quite impossible, is it?
