• Assignment 

How can we use sustainability in out city?

Bogota is surrounded by a lot of land that can be used for sustainable farms. There are a few projects working on achieving this farms and producing the food and resources for a city/town. With this farms, the production of food would be good and fast. It would be good because it is all natural not damaging the food and/or the land. Fast because it is all connected and makes the products grow faster. Everything used in the farm is re-usable and "safe" for humans, plants and animals living on the farm.
