1.4 Examples of Economic Growth under Sustainable Models
Case 1. Food: Micro Farming in Urban/ Suburban Areas
What/Why
Micro farming, also known as urban farming, is farming on residential or commercial property that is
around less than five acres. Micro farming is being encouraged by sustainability groups in order to reduce
carbon emissions, increase local economic growth, increase public health, and improve food security.
It can be implemented in many kinds of environments from metro city lots to suburban backyards, and
they can produce a variety of crops from nuts to vegetables or fruits.
