Need of Urban Farming

Concerns with Current Practices

Lack of sufficient land & soil due to erosion & concrete jungles

Higher density of natural soil affects stability of buildings

Water leakage through roofs by natural soil, and high gravitational loss

Soilless techniques like Hydroponics & Aeroponics have high cost & hecticness of maintenance

Sustain soil

Eco-friendly (85% waste paper)

Four times lighter- Does not exert excess load

High water retention- consumes less waterCapillary effect-

No water leakage

Excellent growing mechanism Surprisingly

mud & stain free

Self supported

Technical Aspects of Sustain Soil

Constituents – Paper pulp, Nanomaterials, fibers & dendrimers

Dry Density – 306 kg/m3

Water holding capacity – 80%

Penetration resistance – 1.6 MPa

Thermal conductivity – 0.05 W/m K

Lesser thermal & gravitational loss of water due to capillary action

Life of more than 2 years due to specially added nanomaterials

Market

Builders will have additional amenity. Customers can grow vegetables on terraces & balconies. They can have source of income.

Industrial sheds/workshops will have lavish green look with income generating plants. It will enhance roof insulation too, resulting pleasant ambience for employees.

Mud-free aspect will attract common population. Local plant nurseries can be customers for sustain soil.Restaurants, Hospitals, IT parks, Schools etc. wherever landscaping is possible.
