PART 2-Questions 8-15

Read the passage and answer questions 8-15.
Growing vegetables in cities has become more than a trend—it’s a movement. People in places like Tokyo,
New York, and Nairobi are turning rooftops, balconies, and even old buses into gardens. These small spaces are
producing surprising amounts of food, helping families and communities become more “self-sufficient”.
One example is a project in Detroit, USA. After many factories closed down, parts of the city were abandoned.
Local residents started planting vegetables in empty lots, and over time, “they” helped reduce crime and brought
people together.
[A] A similar program exists in Singapore, where the government supports rooftop farming on public buildings.
[B] Residents grow herbs, leafy greens, and tomatoes using hydroponic systems. [C] Because space is limited, these
vertical gardens have become popular and efficient ways to grow food. [D]
City farming is also changing the way people think about food. When individuals grow their own vegetables,
they understand the effort involved and often waste less. Children who participate in school gardening programs are
more likely to eat fruits and vegetables, research shows.

shortages. By turning unused urban spaces into gardens, cities can become greener, healthier, and more resilient.
