Excerpt:
Under the proposed plan, the BMC will create dedicated cultivation pits of about 6 ft x 3 ft, which will be offered to local people on an adoption basis. Residents of other suburbs are also welcome, Varsha Karamblekar of the Swachh Parle Abhiyan said.
So far, 24 pits have been constructed and will be extended as per the demand and people’s participation.
The participating families will be responsible for the maintenance and harvest of their respective plots, fostering a “farm-to-table” culture within the metropolis, she said.
The project is dedicated to all types of vegetables and fruits. There would be a demonstration area to teach people how to create balcony and terrace gardens. A small section would be earmarked for residents to sell their surplus organic produce, Karamblekar said.
A unique “plant creche” will also be created where people can leave their home plants for maintenance while travelling, she added.
To ensure the project remains eco-friendly, there are plans to use compost generated from local wet waste. The area will be fenced to prevent unauthorised parking and misuse by anti-social elements, which have plagued under-flyover spaces.
Challenges like improper sunlight and damage by rats and pigeons are also being discussed and how to overcome them.
