Episode 004 - Backyard Farming!!

Small-scale farms and local produce markets in the ACT push towards food sustainability by reconnecting consumers with local producers. Besides, it is important to understand the value of food produce from farm to plate. Urban farming has several benefits. Firstly, it reduces the carbon footprint of food production and transportation. It also provides access to fresh, healthy produce for city residents. Moreover, it strengthens the sense of community as people come together to grow food. In Canberra, where I live, it's essential because it promotes sustainability in a rapidly growing city.

Sapan Adhikari is an Agricultural Engineer and environmental professional currently living in Canberra, Australia. He engages himself into the world of urban farming/hobby farming and growing vegetables and fresh produce besides working as a fulltime employee in ACT. In this episode, he talks about his experience, challenges and importance of growing your vegetables in your own backyard, or a small community garden.
