My name is Stephanie Halimah, 47 years old, and I currently live in Central Java, specifically in Boyolali, Indonesia. I work in urban agriculture, utilizing vacant land to grow organic vegetables such as beans, spinach, and chilies.
The profits from this organic vegetable business through urban farming will increase my family's income, including my child's school fees. I've been running this organic vegetable business for five years, utilizing the land around my house. Due to the increasing scarcity of land in urban areas due to urban development, which is increasingly limiting agricultural land, I utilize the small plots of land around my house.
This project of mine is a way to improve my family's economic well-being and raise public awareness of the importance of green spaces in the urban areas where I live. Wastewater from our residential area is used to irrigate our urban vegetable garden. I grow organic spinach around my house and sell it at the city market every Sunday.
