Life in the city means an increased cost of living standard. One who used to live in rural areas might find it difficult to adjust their way of living in the urban world. Also, food supplies in the city is very different from the rural areas. You don’t get to plant edible plants anymore considering that vacant lot spaces are limited in the city. But that doesn’t bother Indira Naido, whose initiative is worth emulating. She becomes an inspiration for others who aspires to become an urban farmer just like her.
Her famous Edible Balcony book became an instant hit, and that is why there is an increased number of Urban Farmers in the city where she resides. Her inspiration reaches far. The concept is very simple. Planting and growing seeds at the comfort of your home is the main thing. This is very ideal for those who love vegetables and fruits. Of course, only those plants that has seeds are feasible in a limited space. Those who are living in an apartment were even convinced to try the idea. Naido’s aim in writing the book is to teach others how to grow food on their balcony, literally. Thinking about it, all your hard work will really pay off once you are ready reap the fruit of your labor. Such idea was not only innovative but very practical too. Cooking and using fresh ingredients are not only a very healthy idea but it will also help you to save lot of bucks since you won’t need to buy it at the store.
Others might be skeptical of the idea, but after reading the article about Naido’s project, I was really inspired to consider that I also appreciate fresher food than those that are sold in the store which are preserved and manufactured. It only takes will, patience and determination to realize the project. One can start immediately and become an urban Farmer too.
