Responsible management of natural resources has become a necessity over time. Urban orchards are part of sustainable farming that seeks to fill people’s needs without endangering the health of the environment.

An urban orchard is a space dedicated to growing food, in a natural way. This type of production model seeks to used all natural resources, creating economically viable activities, but with alternative techniques that instead of producing by quantity, focuses on the quality of the products.

The goal is to designate small spaces of land in lots and properties, for the cultivation of food that is sufficient for the owners and to generate them an economic income from it.

Benefits of Urban Orchards:

  • Being in contact with nature: By cultivating the land, you connect with agricultural activities and nature. Growing the food that we later consume with our own hands improves our physical and mental health, reducing stress and connecting with the inner peace that natural life gives.

  • Caring for the environment: Small agricultural productions reduce maintenance costs, because more care can be taken when producing. Protecting the environment is essential and it is well known that it also has multiple benefits for our health. Urban orchards reduce the need for chemicals and fertilizers, since they are carried out in controlled spaces, generating a positive impact on the land and on our body.

  • Economic Income: This type of activity mainly seeks to satisfy the food needs of the owners, however, depending on the size of the land, it can be invested in a slightly larger production that, in addition to supplying fresh food to its owners, allows to sell the rest of the product maximizing the profit percentage. The advantage of these models is that they allow you to specialize in small, high-quality products.

  • Benefits local agriculture: The environmental problems generated in mass productions are drastically reduced. In addition to supporting local producers, contributes to the local economy and the healthy intake of foods with less chemicals.
