Blog Entry #5: Sustainable Farming

Some elements to sustainable farming are: social responsibility and environmental conservation and sustainability. The principles towards sustainable farming includes creating ideas that will help to fulfill the major elements. Rooftop gardens, vertical gardening, and community gardens are some great ways to utilize available city space. Ecocities could be the future of how cities will be in the future. I personally buy organic using the "Dirty dozen" and other methods that release foods that are high in pesticide contamination. The current food system is the only way I know how to buy my food, but I do think sometimes when I am at my local grocery store if there would be another alternative. I find it weird how we buy produce from all these supermarkets. I have actually thought of growing my own vegetables recently. A neighbor actually grows his vegetables on the window sill in pots.
