Preeti Patil, a catering officer at the Mumbai Port Trust (MBPT), came up with a unique solution to the MBPT kitchen’s vast amount of waste: terrace gardening. Patil, who subsequently launched ‘Urban Leaves,’ created an urban garden out of 3,000 square feet of terrace area.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The MBPT’s central kitchen serves the docks’ departmental canteens. It produced 30 kg of vegetable waste per day in 2000. Patil looked into methods to recycle it since she was having trouble disposing of it. She began experimenting on the rooftop of the kitchen, with the canteen’s workers joyfully helping in their leisure time, inspired by the works of SA Dabholkar and the Prayog Pariwar Natueco Farming approach. Soon, the terrace had transformed into a highly productive food forest, with helpful bugs, birds, bees, and butterflies producing a beautiful green cover amidst the concrete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
