Urban Farms Are Thriving During The Pandemic

Aquaponics Grown Lettuce in Two Weeks. Are you for Real?

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced humanity to reprioritise our values and behaviour. The economic, social and environmental impact of "human progression", is beginning to change our individual desires and ideologies. Everyday Australian's are pursuing "independence" and food security due to our challenging supply chain issues and the likelihood of ongoing food shortages.

For a long time, our authorities have neglected the environment, climate change and our depleting soil quality. Above all else, the impacts will be felt for generations to come if we don't change course and prioritise our precious natural resources.

Lockdowns have emphasised the need for localisation of food production and community involvement. It may just be one of the positive outcomes of this pandemic. Urban farming is thriving as locals take to their own yards to grow fresh produce to help cope with a lack of food supply in store.

Urban farming is booming as people across the globe are investing in their own gardens which can improve food security and nutrition, reduce climate change impacts, and lower stress.

Urban farming is easy to get started and there are a number of practices you can integrate into your life in order to benefit from our favourite past time. This includes hydroponics, aquaponics, and smaller herb style bench top gardens. Each practice has its own benefits worth exploring, but each gives you fresh produce to enjoy all year round.
