Growing Organic Food in
Panjim CitySuggestions for a proof of concept in Panjim
city from Green Essentials
![Page 2: Growing food on the roofs ideas for panjim city](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a1db8a1a28abd6198b474a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
There is a growing interest in organic
food in Goa(and in cities across the
country and world)
![Page 3: Growing food on the roofs ideas for panjim city](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a1db8a1a28abd6198b474a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
And there is a complete disinterest
in composting(people feel that its not their job to deal with their waste)
![Page 4: Growing food on the roofs ideas for panjim city](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a1db8a1a28abd6198b474a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Ever since we started promoting organic vegetable growing
(our composters sell themselves)
![Page 5: Growing food on the roofs ideas for panjim city](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a1db8a1a28abd6198b474a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
INSIGHTPeople are motivated by
good, healthy food. If they love to grow food, they will soon turn to composting
![Page 6: Growing food on the roofs ideas for panjim city](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a1db8a1a28abd6198b474a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Why not solve 3 kinds of waste together
(sort of hitting three birds with one stone)
![Page 8: Growing food on the roofs ideas for panjim city](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a1db8a1a28abd6198b474a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
[1]Utilise wasted
terraces in the city(all locked and ignored now)
![Page 9: Growing food on the roofs ideas for panjim city](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a1db8a1a28abd6198b474a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
[2]Inspire a organic city farming movement
(that regularly utilisesbiodegradable city waste and
yields ultra fresh, local produce)
![Page 10: Growing food on the roofs ideas for panjim city](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a1db8a1a28abd6198b474a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
[3]Reduce wasted food miles and pesticide
impact(for citizens of the city who
want to participate)

And of course it makes for a great
story for Panjim City too…

You can grow almost any vegetable
(especially in the winter season, which is why we
should start then)
![Page 16: Growing food on the roofs ideas for panjim city](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a1db8a1a28abd6198b474a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Some basic requirements• Location: Smack in the middle of urban Panjim, but hopefully
not in a zero-parking zone• Sunlight and space: An open sunny terrace of about 200 sq mts
where residents aren't paranoid about load bearing (we will use coco soil)
• Water: Source of water for the plants that's not too expensive even as we try to be water efficient
• Optimism: A society management that's optimistic, not pessimistic
• Fencing: Restricted access so that the plants aren't meddled with in the absence of our team
• Sharing friendly: Ability to bring people to see the place, without ticking residents off or inconveniencing them
• Flexibility: Freedom to set up a temporary greenhouse on a frame if needed

![Page 30: Growing food on the roofs ideas for panjim city](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a1db8a1a28abd6198b474a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
How we can do this…• Find a private/corporate sponsor
o for covering the material and setup costs for the garden
• Setup can be managed by uso including provision of labour and monitoring afterwards
o Daily watering will require some thought to manage
• Key inputs sourced from govt. agencieso Compost and coco soil are the key expenses
• Outreach and workshops managed by uso To be conducted onsite if possible
• Produce can be utilised creativelyo Sell at NoMoZo? Weekly organic-only outlet in city/at terrace garden
![Page 31: Growing food on the roofs ideas for panjim city](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a1db8a1a28abd6198b474a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
If this catches on, we can…• Look at cityfarming-friendly policies to
encourage use of terraces productively
• Create a network to sell surplus organic produce in the cities
• Recognise the best terrace gardens in the city with a competition/cash prize
• Use this consumer awareness to get farms on the outskirts to turn organic too
