City Farming - the Natural Alternative, Experiences in India

After retirement, Dr. Padmashri R.T. Doshi, started working on his farm at Kamshet, near Pune, and discovered the immeasurable problems faced by farmers. He discovered that if farmers include the cost of their labour in the calculation of farm profit and loss, all farms would be unprofitable. This led him to think very seriously about reducing the costs of farming and labour. Dr. Doshi has experimented with a number of farming practices that enable city dwellers to grow their own food on every available square inch of urban space, including terraces and balconies.
