Project idea - Urban gardening and urban farming

Our population is steadily growing and because of that, we need new ideas to produce enough food for everyone. To produce sufficiently food, we need enough soil, but this is the problem. The available ground is becoming less. One solution for this problem would be "urban gardening and urban farming". This means, that we can practise agriculture on the roofs of houses in parks etc. 

Here you can find some articles about urban farming and urband gardening. On my view, this would be a good topic for our project.

    I'm really interested in this project, because I think it's very important to think about available land for farming. I would gladly work on this project.

    I'm really interested in this project idea because it creates a creative alternative of large scale farming, but then in cities. In my opinion, using land more efficiently is very important for the environment. I look forward to working with you!
