Sustainable Urban Gardening
Sustainable Urban Gardening
Sustainable urban gardening (SUGa) is the organic cultivation of high-valued crops with methods and materials that minimize negative impact on the environment. It includes organic gardening, vermiculture and the use of a specifically designed crop house. In a crop house favorable conditions can be maintained: shield from too much sun, water distributed evenly, fertilizer and alternatives easily applied, weeds, diseases and pests minimized, etc. The target group will learn to apply the techniques and produce high-value crops of which the sales are their income.

With the base elements of organic gardening, work done by two vulnerable groups, environment, this scheme addresses food security, livelihoods and ecological sustainability (response to global warming and polution) simultaneously. 

The area selected for this project is barangay Fatima G.S.C, since it is an initiative brought on by its leaders. In 2008 about 80,000 inhabitants were estimated to live there, now the population is estimated at 140,000 inhabitants (list barangay Fatima). The Older Persons and the Children who Need Special Protection, their families, and the community of Barangay Fatima are the direct beneficiaries of this project. 

The vice mayor's office has awarded an extension of this project in barangay Fatima. Several individual elderly and families across Fatima have adopted this system in simpler form for their own gardens.
