#UrbanFarming: The Ultimate Guide to #Sustainable #CityAgriculture

January 23, 2024

"Urban farming is an exciting movement transforming cityscapes into productive green spaces, fundamentally changing how urban dwellers interact with their food and environment. This guide is your journey into the world of urban agriculture, where the concrete jungle meets the nourishing practice of cultivation. Right across our cities – on balconies, rooftops, in community plots, and even indoors – people are rediscovering the satisfaction of growing their own food.

"This isn’t just a fleeting trend; it’s a meaningful shift towards more sustainable and self-reliant urban living. Whether you have a sprawling backyard (a rarity in most cities!) or just a sunny windowsill, this guide provides the horticultural know-how you need. We’ll cover the basics, explore different techniques suitable for city growing, suggest crops that thrive in urban settings, and delve into the many rewarding benefits – from harvesting your own fresh, nutritious produce to lessening our collective reliance on long-distance food transport.

"We’ll explore practical, innovative ways to make the most of limited space, turning overlooked corners into thriving mini-farms. Are you a seasoned gardener looking to adapt your skills to an urban context? Or perhaps a complete beginner, curious about sticking a seed in some soil? Wherever you are on your gardening journey, this guide aims to inspire and empower you. Urban farming is more than growing plants; it’s about cultivating a greener lifestyle and contributing to a more resilient future for our cities. Let’s dig in!"

Best #GreenCities: 12 Greenest Cities In The World And Why - #UnityEnvironmentalUniversity (formerly #UnityCollege)

March 6, 2024

"What Makes A City Green?

"What are green cities? A green city is a city that actively works to foster the health and #WellBeing of its people and the #NaturalEnvironment. Often, we look at government policies, community practices, and infrastructure to determine whether a city is 'green' or not.

"However, the greenness of a city actually exists on a spectrum and is multi-faceted. There is no such thing as the greenest city. The greenest cities in the world are those that are doing more to be sustainable when compared to other cities. The greenness of a city includes the following factors and more:

- The availability of #GreenSpaces
- #PublicTransportation options
- #Bikeability
- #RenewableEnergy options
- #CarbonFootprint
- #Recycling programs

"What Makes A University Green?

"An #EcoFriendly city and an eco-friendly university have a lot in common, including #sustainable buildings, #CommunityFarms and #gardens, and #EthicallySourced goods. For Unity Environmental University, an essential part of going green was completely divesting from #FossilFuels and investing in renewable clean energy instead. Ultimately, being a green university is about prioritizing sustainability as a core value and guiding principle for the institution.

"12 Greenest Cities In The World

"#Urban areas around the world are striving to become more environmentally friendly as we continue to grapple with the negative effects of climate change. Many of the world’s greenest cities focus on mitigating those effects by minimizing their carbon footprint, shifting to renewable sources for energy, and improving public transportation. Other cities are taking innovative approaches to integrating green spaces and urban farming.

"This list of the top 12 greenest cities is the result of a holistic review of the most environmentally friendly urban areas in the world. They are not listed in any particular order."

It really is miraculous what is possible if you just give it a go. Nature wants to provide, we are just used to believing that the world is less hospitable than it is by nature. There is so much bounty everywhere, but we have grown up believing that we must fight for every scrap. But the truth is that almost everything we need comes right up out of the ground most places it hasn't been shaved down to make room for basically barren grass. And where it doesn't come right out, we can, with a little human ingenuity, make it come up there.

Spread the word, the revolution starts from the ground up. Resistance is fertile.💚🖤
