Sustainable Living Centre // Sydney City Farm

Organic Farming

In our densely populated urban environment it is vital that any city farm in Sydney not place additional environmental pressures on our community. We will grow our gardens without pesticides and chemical fertilisers, and being water wise. This will provide a showcase to encourage residents to garden more ecologically by demonstrating effective alternatives.

Community Gardens

In great metropolitan cities all over the world, communities are reconnecting to each other and to nature through community gardens.

For city dwellers, especially children, this is a beautiful opportunity to experience nature up close. As seeds and young animals grow, kids can learn about the fundamental processes which secure our life on earth.

In our busy cities, the garden is a space to work with our hands, side by side and create something worthwhile.

Education

There are buildings on each of the possible sites which would make ideal centres for education. Programs may cover the range from specialist permaculture and horticulture courses, ecologically sustainable design, to water and energy saving techniques at home and at work.

Enterprise

Sydney City Farm will develop showcase businesses to promote sustainable economics including an organic cafe, using the produce grown on the farm. The City Farm will become a hub for ecologically minded businesses and showcase innovative approaches to creating and supporting greener business practices.
