Who says you need a countryside plot to grow your own veggies? 🥕 A new community lab in downtown Beijing is flipping the script on urban farming by transforming kitchen waste into lush green gardens—just days before the city hosts a major urban development conference!
Dubbed a ‘sustainability playground,’ the lab lets residents grow fresh produce using recycled food scraps. But it’s not just about farming: ‘Kids are learning science hands-on, like how compost fuels plant growth,’ says Zhang Xue, one of the project’s creators. 🌿 Think of it as a summer camp meets science class, where city kids swap screens for seedlings.
The initiative mirrors the Central Urban Work Conference’s goals to build smarter, greener cities. Imagine skyscrapers with rooftop farms or neighborhoods powered by circular economies—this lab might just be the first step! 🏙️♻️
