URBAN FARMING
Case studies
Contents• Boston• Melbourne• New York• Oakland• Cairo• Havana• Mumbai• Beijing• Montreal• Rosario• Tokyo
Boston I.• Urban farming is traditional here.• The original community was quite democratic (but weith very strict
rules) and has anglo-saxon origin -> there were common pastures around the city (present day city core).
• These pastures turned into parks, but they were continously remained common property (as against european examples).
• The agricultural activity has been never strictly forbidden, only some forms of it (letting cows on the site).
• Article 89 !• A local law, created by the local government in 2010, that regularizes
the urban farming, moreover it supports the new urban farmers and their activites, but they have to answer the requirements first.
• Lot of local gardener communities.• http://www.cityofboston.gov/food/urbanag/

Melbourne I.• Urban farming is traditional here also, but on a different way.• Collingwood Children’s Farm, continously in cultivation since 1836
(the oldest australian farm)• The spreading of australian cities has no limits, moreover the density
of inhabitant is still very low -> the cities have a rural (or garden city) feature and such a farm can be easily surrounded by the built-in area.
• The food production is continous, but the main purpose is social, recreation and raising children.
• The farm is open in every day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.• There are periodic events (feasts), children programs, riding
possibility for everyone.• It has also a zoo function (excepting dangerous animals), especially
for children and a farmer’s market.• http://www.farm.org.au/

New York I.• There are many types of urban farms in New York.• The variety is wide between guerilla gardening and high-tech
hydroponic farms.• It is regulated similarly to Boston:
http://www.agriculture.ny.gov/cg/CGUrban.html• Brooklyn Grange is the greatest rooftop farming establishment in
New York• They are using soil for food production, as against some hydroponic
rooftop greenhouses in New York• The establishment contains of two great green roofs• It was an absolutely private initiative, even the soil was taken onto
the top by private persons.• The main purpose is food production, but there are also social
benefits.• http://brooklyngrangefarm.com/

Oakland I.• East-Oakland and West-Oakland, segregation after WW2• West-Oakland is rich in African-American heritage• Balck Panther Party started urban agriculture, it was a part of their
programme, as a symbol of self-sustaining of the african-american community
• Although the BPP dissolved in 1982, urban farming movement remained, as a part of the sustainability program of the city.
• A part of the extended program is composting and creating „closed-loop” systems.
• Parts of the system is a food market for the local people, increasing health and nutrition values of the produced food.
• Due to the heritage, a great part of this network is basically non-profit organisation.

Cairo I.• Extremely huge and dense city. Typical Middle-East nad North-African
settlement. Very narrow shady streets, high, many storeyed houses, unbroken row of buildings.
• As against typical desert settlements, in this case the river Nile provides enough water for irrigation.
• Urban farming can be effectively made on rooftops.• Great advantage is that the usual roofs are flat in this city• The movement started in 2001, basically it has scientific (university)
origins• There occur both traditional soiled gardens and hydroponic rooftop
farms.• The main purpose is food production, huge number of inhabitants,
low rate of traditional food production (huge egyptian food import)• Social benefits are relatively small in this case• http://www.schaduf.com/

Havana I.• Organopónicos : In 1990 Cube lost its greatest trading partner, the
Sovietunion. About 50% of the cunsumed food were of soviet origin.• They had to find a new way very fastly to provide the necessary food.• This was a kind of urban agriculture. Simply soil filled concrete frames
with primitive watering.• Extremely labour –intensive, but appropriate among those
circumstances.• This food was organic (no one provided herbicides and fertilizers): the
origin of the spanish name.• More than 35000 hectares only in Havana.• 0,28 kg fruit and vegetables per a day for each inhabitants• More than 44000 people work on these farms• It was tried to be introduced in Caracas, Venezuela• http://farmcuba.org/#home

Mumbai I.• Mumbai is the densest city on the planet• There is hardly enough place for humans• Urban farming is simply impossible on the way like Melbourne or
Boston• Nevertheless, there is theproblem of organic waste in Mumbai• Dr. R. T. Doshi started this new movement, used up all organic waste,
and creates compost by mixing them with soil. On this way the water retaining ability of the growing medium is excellent.
• Moreover wasted plastic bags are used up for creating planting bags.• The whole amount of organic waste can be consumed on this way• Smaller plantations are favoured against greater urban farms.• The main products of such farms are vegetables, fruits and flowers• http://

Beijing I.• Beijing is one of the greatest cities of the planet considering both the
covered area nad the number of inhabitants• Moreover the city structure and regultion is a little bit different than
the european ones. Whole areas are belongs to the city, although, some parts (districts) are quite rural. Urban farming is given.
• Moreover all kind of urban farming exist to be able to produce as much food as possible
• These are high tech hydroponic farms, rooftop gardens (both with traditional and hydroponic, covered or uncovered by glasshouses)
• Furthermore there is a great emphasis on closed loop biological systems: it is similar to aquaponics, but not only fish, but other animals (poultry) manure is used to fertilize crop plants, moreover mulberry trees and silk worms are also involved in the system.

Montreal I.• Based on community movements, but augmneted with high-tech
firms and technologies• Lufa Farms is an agricultural and technological company, they created
the very first rooftop greenhouse in Montreal• The main product is vegetable• Considering northern countries (Canada and scandinavian states),
they have only 2 way for providing vegetables: import and greenhouse production.
• Because of the basic necessity of greenhouse (heated greenhouse) it is primarily to be close to public utilities, than the price of the area of the farmland. Thus, it is worth economically to invent greenhouse on greater rooftops
• High tech support (hydroponics) is almost given in canadian urban circumstances, moreover they do not have to use herbicids.

Rosario I.• Rosario is a city in Argentina with 1.3 million inhabitants• Its entire Land Use Plan (2007-2017) is made to support urban
farming• It contains a green circuit, but basically not from parks and othe
recreational green areas, but rather farms and agricultural areas.• The agriculture and urban recreation is integrated into this green
stucture• The main purpose is upgrading slum zones on this way• Education plays an important role• Family and community gardens can be found in a great number in
this structure and it is the most important components besides the five greater traditional parks.

Tokyo I.• Tokyo is also a huge city and very dense• Moreover entire Japan has very limited food sources, they need a
huge food import (this was one of the key factors of historical extension attempts of Japan)
• Urban farming is inevitable• Combination of rooftop gardens, traditional japanese garden culture
(room sized plots, with inner architecture qualities) and high-tech• There exist also vertical farms (due to great urban density)• There are high tech hydroponic farms in former industrial buildings
with artificial lights.• Besides the food production, the social benefit is also very high.• Some of these high-tech farms are invented abroad (Singapore) by
high tech japanese firms.• http://en.rocketnews24.com/2013/09/01/green-tokyo-5-cool-exampl
