Urban Agriculture

Collaborating with nature for a brighter tomorrow, Soil Association is a non-profit organization with a mission to promote sustainable agriculture. Together, we hope to encourage you to cultivate your own food and foster a diverse ecosystem, regardless of limited space. A key principle of working with nature is to emulate its natural processes, enabling it to self-regulate and restore equilibrium whenever problems arise. #fyp #foryoupage #contentcreator #gardening #garden #gardeningtips #ecofriendly #sustainable #growyourownfood #plant #plants #gardentok #plantsoftiktok #ecotips

Mainstream media outlets are attacking urban farming and gardening as carbon intensive and climate unfriendly to discourage people from growing food. The obsession with carbon emissions demonstrates the narrow thinking and shorted sightedness from “experts” regarding sustainability. The media does this to shift the blame and responsibility from large corporations to individuals. Urban community farming and gardening provide a wide range of social, health, and environmental benefits including: - socializing - connecting with the land - absorbing pollutants - collecting rainwater - reducing flood severity - decreasing temperatures - improving food security - reducing food waste - providing habitats for pollinators #garden #urbanfarm #farming #gardening #gardener #produce #communityfarm #planting #growing #homestead #produce #seeds

Plant your 🍅 properly!⁣ ⁣ Tomatoes are my favorite thing to grow in the garden and one of the first crops I ever experimented with. There are so many varieties and sizes that are perfect for any space, and there are a few specific techniques that will take your tomato game to the next level⁣ ⁣ 🍅 Start by removing nearly 2/3 of the stems and leaves below the crown with a sharp pair of snips (love my @Fiskars Americas). You want to train your plant to grow tall with a strong root system ⁣ ⁣ 🍅 Plant your tomato DEEP up to the crown of the plant. By removing the leaves and lateral stems and burying it deep in the soil, we are encouraging new roots to develop from the central stem. These roots grow from undifferentiated cells along the stem, NOT the little hairs (called trichomes)⁣ ⁣ 🍅 I’d also recommend removing any early stage flowers. Flowers are very much needed for pollination and fruiting, but you want the plant to focus more on foliage growth so it can produce more flowers later⁣ ⁣ 🍅 Tomatoes are heavy feeders, and I use @Espoma Organic tomato liquid fertilizer or tomato tone to keep them well fed through the season. These blends are higher in Phosphorous which promotes flowering and fruiting ⁣ ⁣ Use these four methods and watch your tomato yields explode this summer 🤤 ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ #FarmerNick #getyourhandsdirty #farmtotable #growsomethinggreen #growyourownfood #urbanfarming #greenthumb #organicgardening #backyardgarden #urbanagriculture #localfood

It’s time to talk ‘food systems’ 👩‍🌾 Empowering local communities to have agency over their food system while advocating for changes to local policies have profound impact on food deserts, food sovereignty, and the climate! 🌿 Whether it’s volunteering at your local urban farm or being a food advocate, there are plenty of ways to get involved in this conversation. What are your thoughts on food and climate? Let us know 😊 #foodsystem #sustainability #climatesolutions #solarpunk #naturalresources #urbanagriculture #urbanfarms #localfood #eatlocal #carbonfootprint #ghg #emissions

Obviously, lentils are not the crop to grow in your garden if you want the highest economic return. We are getting into grain and pulses because we have a reliable and steady supply of vegetables. It’s also great to have another reason to fire up the threahing machine. 😉 We seeded about 1500 lentil plants in 100 square feet (15 plants per square foot). This density seemed to provide good ground cover without causing too much competition between plants. We ended up with 3.56 kg (7.83 lbs) of lentils. There was some loss from a few mistakes in the drying process, so I am confident the that we can beat those numbers next season. For reference, average yield for green lentils in our province is 1546 lbs/acre. Our yield equates to 3412 lb/acre. #vegetable #garden #homestead #urbangarden #gardenproject #urbanagriculture #urbanhomestead #nodiggarden #lentils #pulses
