2007 marks the first time in history that the world’s population is predominantly urban. This global shift has significantly impacted upon developing economies in particular as traditional sectors such as agriculture yield to rapid industrialisation resulting in dramatically reduced levels of food security for the urban poor.
Project Eden is an agricultural system facilitating intensive cultivation of plant-crops in the rapidly expanding and increasingly dense urban areas of developing countries. It is derived from an advanced growing technique that has been re-engineered to address the specific needs of subsistence farmers while also constituting an entrepreneurial business opportunity for urban residents.
