The Yardfarmers Trailer - Sustainable Urban Farming




Yard farmers, which was means people grow food at their backyard or green land. It was introduced  by Erik Assadourian, he is a senior fellow at the Worldwatch Institute and a sustainability researcher and writer, in his book, he stated six young Americans  grow food in their parents' yards or other neighbourhood greenspaces. It's a kind of sustainability and food systems,  which may help to bring urban farming and backyard farming out from the traditional farming system.The yard farming movement  also could have a wide range of benefits to individuals, families, and communities, as well as the nation as a whole, as they not only grow food at their own back yard, but also neighbourhood's back yard, that's why they could connect this society. Of course, the biggest obvious benefit would help more local food production and the transition away from growing the most useless crop of grass in yards, and it  toward a more sustainable model of homegrown organic food and Do It Yourself (DIY) living.
As more and more people involved in the yard farming, many small urban plots around the country were changed by yard farmer. These land will not useless anymore, it could create new living, support more community residents. Moreover, this land could also improve the environment system, it will attract more wildlife animals and sequester carbon. Furthermore, as the whole system goes well, it would reduce demand for lawn chemicals, and industrial food, ultimately, yard farming improve the standard of living.
