The Value of Urban Farming to Community

1) "Urban planting here can tell the story of homeless people that we have development and it can show our potential. Before doing urban garden here, normally people look down us like a garbage of society. Can we been developed? But now they have to change their thought, many people are interested in what we do and visit our garden as a good example for community. We planted them by ourselves , no need to pay money but can sell for money." Uncle Dum - the leader of homeless community at Bangkok noi said.

2) Roof top vegetable garden at Jankasame University. The leader of project said that " We can utilize the space on roof top do gardening together among the colleges. Normally we do our own job and stay on the different floor, never talked much. After we have roof top garden, people would love to join and share ideas there with nature, it has been the important meeting place for us. It is more than the internal project for staff to just let them have good food because we have the real learning center to let other people learn from what we are doing and what we have been changed after doing."
