#1 : Urban farming makes our environment green. Our city is now full of tall and enormous buildings that took very wide areas. That means areas to plant trees is reducing. In order to maintain and keep our green-y environment, we could do the urban farming by planting plants around our cities.

#2 : The source of healthy nutrients. We reduce the imported foods and replace it by produce our own foods by ourselves which means the healthiness is guaranteed! “The quality of human life is based on what they ear”

#3 : Reducing the global warming. Global warming happened because we use too much machines that produced Carbon Dioxide (Co2) such as air conditioner (AC) and our private vehicles. In addition, our forests were being burn to have a little more place to build buildings and industries. Automatically, trees are reducing. The more Co2 is produced and it leads to global warming. In order to reduce global warming, we have to plant more trees by urban farming!
