Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai on Wednesday informed that the Aam Aadmi Party-led government will soon launch its Urban Farming Policy, inculcating the best practices and solutions from across the globe. Rai, in a round table conference, said, “With a change from farmland and greenery to concrete dwellings, noise, and rising population density, Delhi’s metropolitan regions are becoming increasingly crowded. In such a situation, future reforestation drives in Delhi will almost certainly run out of space.” He further said that the Delhi government is planning an urban farming strategy in light of these likely circumstances. This plans goal is to promote and empower everyone in Delhi to be able to grow their own fruits, vegetables, and other essentials in their own houses.
While Informing about the conference, Rai said in a statement that it had brought together companies and technology providers from all around the country. Flora Consultant, Harwell Agro, Bhumika Organics, EasyGrow, MR Farms, Edible Roots, RS Polymer, and Sow Good are among them.
