In present scenario of growing health concern, soil and water pollution,
and heavy load of pesticides, availability of safe, nutritious and quality
food is limited. Terrace vegetable gardening is an ideal choice in which
vegetables are grown in environmental friendly way in ones surrounding so
as to enjoy them in aesthetic way, adding value to the life. It is high time to
start terrace vegetable gardening in urban areas for leading quality and
healthy life linked to urban agriculture. This besides providing quality fresh
product from the terrace, provides aesthetic value, alternative to exercise
and above all it contributes in reducing city waste as it offers the recycling
of the kitchen wastes by composting to convert them in useful manure to
partly sustain own terrace garden. The rain water harvesting structures
could also be linked to the rooftop gardening. There is need to intensify
education and training programs for city dwellers on sustainable terrace
vegetable gardening practices.
