More city dwellers are growing fruit and vegetables in their homes after panic buying ahead of lockdowns cleared out many supermarket shelves. FMTNews FMTLifestyle
Urban farming including vertical and rooftop farms, is fast becoming popular among city dwellers.
Panic buying in some countries during the crisis has led to empty supermarket shelves and an uptick in the purchase of seeds, according to media reports. More than two-thirds of the world’s population is forecast to live in cities by 2050, according to the United Nations. During World War One, US President Woodrow Wilson asked Americans to plant “Victory Gardens” to prevent food shortages.
Despite pressure on land to build homes and roads, there is more than enough urban land available within UK cities to meet the fruit and vegetable requirements of its population, researchers at the Institute for Sustainable Food at Britain’s University of Sheffield said in a study last month.
