Dr R.
T.
Doshi, a city-bred intellectual now residing in Mumbai, India,
has experimented with an innovative package of workable farming practices
that enables city dwellers to grow their own food on every available square
inch of urban space, including terraces and balconies, if they so desire.
None of the innovations Dr Doshi recommends requires heavy expenditure, equipment or subsidies.
Neither does the farming he proposes require
long hours of work.
Every member of the family can be involved in the maintenance of the city food garden, including the old.
The food garden provides
the family with ample nutrition from plant sources, eliminating the need to
purchase one’s vegetables and fruits from the market, where inflation makes a
mockery of housewives’ budgets.
