With the urban agriculture movement is expected to encourage the people of the city is concerned about climate change and contribute to a simple and concrete to save the earth.<br />
<br />
The spread of education and training about urban agriculture begins with training on the trainer. Participants involved must be committed to implement urban agriculture and spread it to others in the neighborhood.<br />
<br />
With urban agriculture training is expected to be expanded to other areas, so that the benefits can be felt even more. We want to engage the community as much as possible to start with small steps to get a big change.<br />
<br />
On a day of education and training that is done, they are taught agricultural models of the city, of which utilize idle lands and critical areas, green open space, vacant land and home gardens, schools and places of worship, to be planted with vegetables, fruits, and herbs.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
Participants who would later be the coach about urban agriculture in their respective environments are also taught the theory of cultivation of vegetables in the garden and vegetable pest control in a way that is environmentally friendly. Participants were asked to recognize the growing media company, superior seeds, seeding, to care.<br />
<br />
With the training of urban agriculture trainers, can be a point of growing urban agricultural activities in many places. We hope this activity can quickly spread to other places.<br />
<br />
Urban agriculture movement, the term for planting crops in urban areas, implicated in various parts of the world. There is no land, no excuse for not farming. Urban agriculture movement has proved it.<br />
<br />
In the United States, Hillary Clinton, then first lady, juggling one of the White House yard into a vegetable garden. He is also actively encouraging people to love farming. Hillary generously shared gardening and urban agriculture with a book he wrote, American Grown. Americans actually somewhat behind in this respect, because urban agriculture was first developed in several major cities in Japan, Germany, and later China.<br />
<br />
If we look a little to the U.S., they bring urban agriculture lessons to the class, that means agriculture in developed countries like the U.S. is still considered important. In 2050, the UN predicts that global population will surpass 9 billion people. Given current levels of agricultural productivity, the extent of agricultural land that half of the Americans needed to feed a larger population. This is certainly the record, there was no change in the incidence of extreme weather and droughts that will make everything worse.<br />
<br />
Urban agriculture has the potential to solve these problems. The term was coined in 1915 by the United States geologist, Gilbert Ellis Bailey. Architects and scientists have repeatedly seen this idea since then, especially towards the end of the 20th century. In 1999, Dickson Despommier, a professor of environmental science, health, and microbiology at Columbia University to seriously develop urban agriculture science with his students.<br />
<br />
How about your country? You should be proud of your country, because it still bears the name as an agricultural country, as well as school students still want to go to the villages and learning in nature, studying agriculture, learn about the forest and so on.<br />
<br />
In some places in the country you are providing education facilities in the open, and this has become a trend and even a demand from the education, the reasons, most students studying in class bored, or sensation for certain schools to get out of the habits formal. Whatever the reason it is still useful, as most of the schools that use this technique are the schools in the big cities, it is expected that students can be more creative and get more insight, also born nature of mutual respect among fellow human beings.<br />
<br />
Even more great again there that provide a means of urban agricultural education for free. In this place will teach agricultural technologies from the conventional / traditional to modern farming techniques.<br />
<br />
"Here we do not create the carcass, here we are human beings made in which the anti ask but love to give." That quote from the discussion of the existing educational facilities. Understanding these quotations explained that in this place are not trained to be useless, how in this place of no use to be very useful, also graduated from here will pass on the nature of love to give and not mentally begging.<br />
<br />
Quite unique indeed and whatever form and manner of urban agricultural education was important not harm anyone and the results are certainly positive. and many other places that provide the means of education that pay her expensive, cheap to free anything, it indicates that in developing countries is still much to be concerned agriculture, live how we deal with the government and give it to their appreciation. Because it is not possible even likely already running urban agriculture at the individual student, as students gain knowledge and insight of the school of agriculture in the wild or Outbound term trend based education.</span>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01130904961986511800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827036897391291863.post-88210939058194173402012-11-18T10:00:00.000+07:002012-11-18T10:00:03.913+07:00The Urban Farm<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Healthy food sources increasingly in demand by the public. This could be an indication that the availability of healthy food sources should also be held that the supply of food sources are available. One concrete efforts to provide healthy food sources is to make the urban farm system that does not use synthetic chemical fertilizers.<br />
<br />
The perpetrators of the urban farm deliberately to stop using synthetic chemicals for crops and are committed to making organic farming and environmentally friendly.<br />
<br />
Organic sources for the urban farm, one of them by using the processed manure and managed by a group of the urban farm. Manure is produced from cow manure which is then processed in such a way that it can be used as manure fertilizes the soil without destroying it. Organic fertilizers unlike chemical fertilizers, which can damage the environment for a long time.<br />
<br />
For availability of organic fertilizer, a week can produce as much as 2 tons. Thus, all the urban farm products, especially vegetables that are organically produced.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
Urban communities should be able to utilize the land no matter how narrow the urban farm crop land, in order to meet daily food needs. With the urban farm, urban communities to build self-sufficiency particularly in food fulfillment.<br />
It was raised in the farm yard event technical guidance conducted on land owned by a group of the urban farm.<br />
<br />
With the use of the yard in the urban areas more narrow, it can help people to maximize their potential in the urban farm. This is possible because the culture of the agrarian society in general and soil fertility. Moreover, with the urban farm, the public can meet the demand for agricultural commodities, such as vegetables.<br />
<br />
Therefore urban communities who are trying to capitalize on an increasingly narrow land deserves to be given support and assistance, in order to commercialize the urban farm can thrive. The idea of the use of agricultural land for urban yard, at the instigation of one of the community leaders, which have shown that the development of the urban farm is possible to do in their yards.<br />
<br />
With the use of their yards can help urban communities which are very diverse backgrounds can come together to develop the urban farm. In a relatively narrow area at this time prepared lemon seeds, chili, spinach, mustard greens and tomatoes are expected to assist in meeting their needs.<br />
<br />
It is said that the vegetable is one type of the urban farm are easy to develop and produce economic benefits, particularly for members of the group. The first stage to meet the needs of members, and to the surrounding community.<br />
<br />
We are convinced that urban farm will help the community's economy. Moreover, in these locations can be a place of urban farm education, for urban communities do not know who started farming systems and patterns. Utilizing their yards for the urban farm, it would be more meaningful than the left at all.</span>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01130904961986511800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827036897391291863.post-89256721745446877032012-11-16T10:00:00.000+07:002012-11-16T10:00:06.742+07:00Urban Farms<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Area of urban farms land is decreasing from year to year make agricultural experts made strides in the areas of food crops inspiring. They developed a model urban farms to deal with the number of farms switching function.<br />
<br />
Agriculture plays an important role for maintaining stability of food. Because of agricultural experts to develop a model urban farms that is the concept of urban farms crops with special media, addressing the narrowness of existing urban farms land.<br />
<br />
They tried to make urban farms crops growing media by using some planks together, to form a long beam. But one side left open. Then, they made the order of the iron to put six planting media shaped beam. The iron frame that measures approximately 3 m x 80 cm, with a height of about 2 m. At the top of the iron frame, provided a special water used for watering plants. Then some pipe mounted, so when the water faucet is turned on, all the plants will automatically get water.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
Furthermore, land-filled planting medium that is mixed manure. After that, the land can be planted with various urban farms crops. For example, vegetables. Besides growing media shaped beam of wood, there are also other agricultural experts that make the planting medium from a perforated large bamboo rather wide, so it can be ground and as a plant fertilizer.<br />
<br />
Urban farms concept can be used to develop organic agriculture. Because treatment naturally, without the use of fertilizers or other chemicals. Model urban farms developed into one of the units of student activities at the college. It is expected that students can play and develop.<br />
<br />
If it is really engaged, urban farms models can be used to help students pay tuition. The results of urban farms, can be sold, and the results can be collected as a stock paying tuition.<br />
<br />
Agricultural development is not only needed by people who live in rural areas, but also by the people who live in urban areas. Development of urban farms face many challenges. Lack of availability of land and the lack of public knowledge about the manner of urban farms are the factors that cause major problems. The challenges facing agricultural development in urban areas such as land constraints, lack of knowledge and technology, time constraints can be poured, and that is not less important is the limited growing media.<br />
<br />
Some people who live in urban no one should "buy land" to be processed into the planting medium. Planting vegetables is a core activity of the urban farms program that is considered quite attractive and in accordance with the general conditions of urban society. Vegetables are commodities needed for everyday family consumption and nutrient sources, so that development can save money shopping.<br />
<br />
When occupied seriously, developing vegetables can also be an additional income of farm families and urban farms groups. Vegetables consist of different types vary greatly, many choices are not boring, so it is very convenient to maintain the motivation of members of urban farms in sustainable farming.</span>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01130904961986511800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827036897391291863.post-56121517204022718952012-11-14T10:00:00.000+07:002012-11-14T10:00:00.853+07:00Urban Farm<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Geographically, the city area is very limited, so the concept of traditional farming is very difficult in urban areas. Meanwhile, land conversion of agricultural land into non-agricultural land could barely containable in line with the development needs of the citizens. Urban farm can be used as an alternative.<br />
<br />
Of course farming techniques conducted in urban areas intensively with technology that enables high productivity on land is very limited. The development of urban farm techniques currently possible to do this, for example by verticulture techniques, hydroponics, or other cultivation techniques technological nuances.<br />
<br />
The benefits derived from urban farm, in addition to meeting the needs of city residents consumption also benefits the beauty and cleanliness of the environment in urban areas who use a lot of fossil fuels. Merger between agricultural science and urban landscape will provide another nuance to the farm that had seemed dirty.<br />

Urban farm has a sense, a unit of production activities, processes, and marketing of food and other products, in water and on land is done in the city and in the suburbs, applying methods of intensive production, and recycled (reused) natural resource and residual municipal waste, to produce a diversity of livestock and crops.<br />
<br />
Urban farm as an industry that is located in the city (intra-urban) or on the outskirts of the city (peri-urban) of a small town or a big city, which is growing and growing, distribution and diversity of the food and non-food products (nonfood products ), mostly using natural and human resources (land, water, genetic, solar energy and air), services and products that are available in and around the city, and in turn as a provider of human resources and material, some services and products for urban areas itself.<br />
<br />
Based on some understanding of the above it can be concluded that urban farm means farming is an activity that can be farming, animal husbandry, fisheries, forestry, that had the location in the city or on the outskirts of a city, with the process of production (yield), processing, selling, and distributing various kinds of products of food and non-food uses of resources and aims to provide and fulfill the consumption of people living in a city.<br />
<br />
The role of urban farm for food security and safety happen in two ways: First, increase the amount of food available to people living in the city, the second, the availability of fruits and fresh vegetables to city consumers. Therefore the promotion of urban farm as an energy-saving local food production. Urban farm in central and suburban areas are food security practices.<br />
<br />
In some cities of the world are implementing the concept of urban farm and welcomed by residents as part of an urban development concept of clean environment. While in the United States which has launched urban farm, including the city of New York. Hopefully urban farm used as part of the needs of city residents in addition to the need for housing and the building of a supermarket and mall.</span>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01130904961986511800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827036897391291863.post-75643718079180606842012-11-12T10:00:00.000+07:002012-11-12T10:00:05.552+07:00Urban Farming<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Urban farming is an effort to use minimalist space located in urban areas to be utilized in order to produce the production. Production is due to meet food needs, comforts of life amid urban air pollution and the feel of the aesthetic in the home town. Urban farming involves not only the thinking of those who have long been involved in the world of agriculture, but also involve animal husbandry, fisheries and even forestry. All built in an order holisticity life. This activity can also be done in the suburbs, even in the smallest blood.<br />
<br />
Suburban areas sometimes only used as space waste treatment and placement of final disposal of urban waste. So the behavior and shat very far from the people who live in the vicinity. Availability of life-supporting elements such as water, air, and wholesome food is the basis of the needs of those living clean and healthy.<br />
<br />
Urban farming generally do to generate income or food-producing activities, though in some communities the main impetus is recreation and relaxation. Urban farming contributes to food security in two ways: first, increasing the amount of food available to people living in the city, and second, it allows fresh vegetables and fruits and meat products to be made available to urban consumers.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
BASIC PERSPECTIVE OF URBAN FARMING<br />
Urban farming was based on the city and the economic value perspective. Limitations of the existing land is not a barrier to actualize its potential economic value. Land is optimized for planting crops with high economic value, such as food crops, ornamental plants, and plants supplier of oxygen in large quantities.<br />
Besides the environmental perspective also helped support. Issues Global warming, high air pollution in urban areas is a threat to the people of the city. A healthy life can be realized if it starts with a development that has the perspective of protecting the environment. Or consider that man is not separate from the environment and vice versa. Between the environment and humans is one thing in this universe.<br />
<br />
Distance away from the source of urban food production is also a reason for the importance of urban farming. The freshness of the food available, such as vegetables and fruit degrades the quality of the journey. Things can be done is to bring together access to these foods. Access to nutritious food is another perspective in an effort to locate food and livestock production in cities. With exceptional input of the world's population to urban areas, need fresh food and safely increased.<br />
<br />
Applicative<br />
Public awareness is needed to keep the city environment. Cities Farming Scheme idea is very easy to do by the people of the city. Starting from the optimization of land to use household waste to be reused. Supported purchasing power to design the urban farming in the house. Some things are usually done in the city are:<br />
<br />
VERTICULTURE<br />
Narrow land indeed makes gardening so less freely, but with the use of space vertically, gardening became more fun with the quantity that can be improved. Verticulture is the pattern of farming that uses plant container vertically to overcome the limitations of the land. On this occasion I am interested in trying verticulture with bamboo stands as a container. Because of its scale experiment, I only use two bamboo sticks. Not all plants can be or are suitable for verticulture. Fortunately, most vegetables can be used, which also happened to be really fit my desires vegetable gardening for the benefit of the kitchen. In this case I chose the tomato and red pepper. For the planting medium I use a mixture of soil, compost, and chaff. I use organic materials and patterns of cultivation.<br />
<br />
Aquaponics<br />
Aquaponics is the combination of Aquaculture and Hydroponics pulled between that is able to recycle nutrients, using a small fraction of recycled water to allow it to growing fish and plants in an integrated manner. This system is already commonly used by farmers in Indonesia especially in Java. That is what is called intercropping. Planting rice in the rice fields, as well as to keep the fish in paddy fields that. Only in aquaponics, growing medium plants in the ground, but using a planting medium (grow beds), such as gravel.<br />
<br />
Hydroponics<br />
Hydroponics (latin; hydro = water; ponos = work) is a method of farming without the use of soil media but using mineral nutrient solutions or other materials that contain nutrients such as coconut fiber, mineral fiber, sand, broken bricks, sawdust , and other media instead of soil.<br />
<br />
MINIMALIST PARK<br />
The narrow courtyard house is not a limit to the aesthetic feel and comfort giving birth. Minimalist garden into housing trends which became the favorite choice of consumers new homes that became a symbol of cosmopolitan society, which is a reflection of the way of life - thinking - and working urban society that completely practical, lightweight, efficient, and management simplicity.<br />
<br />
Hopefully the idea of Urban farming can be acquainted with the good, so that later we can live comfortably and are involved in maintaining the quality of our world. What we do today is a legacy for our children and grandchildren later. Therefore, start with small things, it's time to start from your home and get urban farming started today. Your world, my world, the world we all.</span>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01130904961986511800noreply@blogger.com0
