With a growing global population that will primarily settle in urban areas, more and more agricultural land will be converted into dwellings, roads etc. As the demand for food in 2050 will be 60% greater than today, a conflict between Sustainable Development Goals 2 (Zero Hunger) and 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) is imminent. Urban farming with virgin and reused PVC pipes can make cities’ food supply more resilient and thus contribute to a better trade-off between the two SDGs.
