3.The statement of need.

Vegetable farming has been practicing in Nepal since long time as home consumption
and since few years commercial vegetable farming has also been practicing in some part of the
country. But, especially, in the urban areas like Kathmandu valley, almost the farming land is
changing into concrete land with housing, roads and other huge infrastructures. Huge amount
of money is being expensed to import the vegetables to fulfill the demand of urban areas like
Kathmandu valley. Similarly, the garbage/wastages came out from every household is creating
pollution and badly affecting the environment which is being a serious challenge to Nepal
government to manage it.

Hence, Social Development Organization Nepal aims to promote the sustainable kitchen
gardening for urban areas by encouraging the urban farmers towards roof-top and small scale
kitchen gardening which :

 Provides nutritious food and essential vitamins, carbohydrate, protein, minerals needed
for human body.

 Reduces the expenditures to buy imported vegetables and also can earn by selling
surplus vegetables.

 Properly utilizing and saving the time of family members.

 Creates recreation and refreshment from the beautiful garden, and exercise for healthy
citizen.

 Properly utilizes the garbage/ wastages as a compost manures by recycling which would
be used on kitchen gardening and ultimately reduces the pollution and garbage
dumping problem.

 Sustainable kitchen gardening properly utilizes the local resources , farmer experiences
and hence reduces external dependency and expenditures.

 Promotes of using compost manures, vermi manures, and environmental friendly


organic/homemade insecticide/pesticides which help to protect the urban environment.
