Neftaly: Designing Parks That Include Urban Farming Initiatives
Neftaly is integrating urban farming into park design to promote food security, environmental education, and community engagement. By transforming underutilized park areas into productive spaces for growing fruits, vegetables, and herbs, Neftaly empowers residents to connect with sustainable agriculture and healthy living.
These urban farming zones may include community gardens, educational plots, vertical gardens, and composting areas—all supported through partnerships with local organizations, schools, and volunteers. The produce grown can be used for local food programs, markets, or shared among participants, fostering a spirit of cooperation and shared responsibility.
Through this innovative approach, Neftaly reimagines parks as vibrant, multi-use spaces where nature, nutrition, and community thrive together.
