Abstract
The number of inhabitants in urban communities in India keeps on extending exponentially. It is anticipated that by 2050, 55% of Indians will live in urban territories. Conventional Agricultural Industry is tested to keep pace with this as it is evaluated that rural land limit can increment by 2% as it were. The idea of Urban Farming has picked up the genuine consideration of Planners and Academic people group in India. The joined issues of Population blast, quick urbanization and environmental change are posturing extraordinary risk to the Food Supply. Urban Farming supposedly has potential for urban areas to have in any event some measure of Food Security. Urban farming is a procedure of utilizing imaginative logical cultivating methods to create high return and high calibre of
new natural nourishment in extremely restricted urban regions like porches and galleries, all year - round. It supposedly has numerous points of interest including non-reliance on impulses of Climate, utilization of reused water from Sewage and regarded Wet waste as fertilizer, nearness of makers to shoppers, decrease of carbon impressions and so forth. The Concept of Urban Vertical Farm has been around since the 80's yet the Urban Farming Industry isn't developing so quickly. The primary difficulties appear to be Economic feasibility and Sustainability There is as yet an absence of any complete information and know-how in the general population domain in regards to functional parts of Urban Farming. The Economic expenses and practicality for expansive scale urban Farming appears to be restrictive. Accordingly, up until this point, the urban cultivating industry has not developed much. In this paper, we examine into the Sustainability of UF, utilizing the SAFA measurements of Sustainability as reference. i.e. Ecological, Social, Economic and Institutional measurements. In this paper, we examine six effectively working urban homesteads, some are by people, some are co-agents and some are upheld by Institutions like government or different organizations and investigate their Sustainability Dimensions. This paper tries to think about these operational models of Urban Farms from the part of rehashing a similar model in different areas.
