-     Urban Agriculture showcase area


In response to the need to educate the people with the efficient and very practical use of space, particularly with the urbanization of the communities, an Urban Agriculture Showcase Area has been added to the farm. There, the people can see a small lot with different vegetables and herbs growing side by side or growing in cans, bottles, and other containers that are simply discarded.
