Urban gardening on the green wall

Around the world, many people do not get enough food and nutrition. Urban gardening, which produces vegetables, herbs, medicinal plants and ornamental plants around cities, can be a solution. Increasing population growth in urban areas, depletion of available land, water shortages and rising soil salinity are the main limitations of sustainable food production in and around cities. Vertical farming (growing crops on walls and green roofs) is much more efficient than traditional farming and, thanks to a controlled environment, allows you to combine crops in one bed. At the same time, this could not be expected on land and soil under natural conditions. In a world where finding a free piece of space is increasingly difficult, sustainably using each piece of land plays an important role. One of the biggest challenges of modern agriculture is providing access to food for a growing population. The present study examines different aspects of urban agriculture in the green wall. The results of the present study show that creating such spaces in the sense of self-sufficiency is of particular importance. Integrating several functions in the urban farm structure is in line with the process of creating new social spaces friendly to urban residents. Therefore, productive performance should be complemented by other valuable functions for residents, such as food, with the support of restaurants that use vertically urban agricultural products, or the entertainment sector, by creating new public spaces related to green space to have the necessary support for products in cities. To achieve sustainability, contemporary cities must create strong and multi-functional residential areas per the trends set by the new urban planning concept.
