Mumbai's community food gardens use recycled materials to grow food at orphanages and hospitals
By
Goodlede
Summary
Community-led food gardens at orphanages, hospitals, and disability centers in Mumbai use recycled materials to grow sustainable food for sustenance, education, and healing in resource-constrained urban settings. These gardens transform neglected spaces into functioning agricultural infrastructure, demonstrating resilience and resourcefulness, though they emerge from necessity rather than as a scalable policy solution. Broader systemic food security and urban planning changes remain needed.
