Sijui kama you have seen some rooftop gardens au zile zenye zina microgreens? Our urban areas are catching up with international cities like New York and Tokyo. 🏙️ I think hii hustle ya vertical farming, ni game-changer. Picture this; unalima spinach, Sukuma, ama managu kwa building haina soil. The thing is, with special containers full of nutrient-rich water (hydroponics style). It’s not just hip, it’s making serious money! For example, Nakuru na Nyeri wasee wanagrow lettuce, strawberries, and herbs with small investments and taking advantage ya clean energy solutions. Ile water wastage unaona kwa farms, hao young entrepreneurs hawa-seal na hiyo stori. They recycle water in surprisingly simple ways, na crops cao zinagrow even faster. Ni kama mambo ya weather imekuwa obsolete to them. Essentially, wanafanya farming yoyote anytime na ku-supply markets bila excuse. Hii ni kama farming version ya 5G tech!
