 City Farming CED’s film “City Farming” is a documentary on organic agriculture in Indian cities. The film features: Dr. Ramesh T. Doshi, the first Indian city farmer who has developped a huge garden on his Jamunotri terrace in Bandra, Mumbai; Vivek Chitle, Snehlata Shrikhande, and Jyoti Shah who are all engaged in agriculture farming in the city of Pune. They highlight the advantages of city farming in improving living conditions: - Benefits for health are tremendous as fruits and vegetables are produced without any chemical inputs such as pesticides or fertilizers. - In addition of recreating an essential link between city dwellers and nature, terrace farming beautifies cities which are otherwise dominated by grey buildings and pavements. - Last but not least city farming helps tackle global warming by reducing GHG emissions generated by the use of fossile fuels when food is transported from distant areas by trucks, trains or even planes. write to This email address is being protected from spambots.
