in ways already familiar to us, except on a grander scale. In a warmer world, heavier floods, more
intense droughts, and unpredictable, violent, and increasingly frequent storms could become a new
normal. Every person on earth requires resources to survive. As population grows, more and more
resources will be demanded, the most essential of which are food and water. If supply does not meet
demand, we have a situation called food insecurity. The world needs to produce at least 50% more
food to feed 10 billion people. But climate change could cut crop yields by more than 25%. Unless we
change how we grow our food and manage our natural capital, food security will be at risk.
So it does explore alternative food to feed the exploding world population in the future – in a
sustainable, cost-eective, and environmentally friendly way. Urban agriculture may be inecient
today, but it's a model for a sustainable future. Of course, we can't expect an Urban farm to have the
same production capacity as a conventional, massive monoculture farm, but that doesn't mean the
urban farms have no true value; the amount of calories it yields shouldn't be the sole metric of its
worth. The alternative approach towards urban farming by focusing on cultivating, harvesting and
consuming, 'Spirulina' in the urban context so as to bridge the gap between the urban and the
natural as well as introducing ways in which the superfood becomes part of our daily life.
