Bangkok and other urban areas in the kingdom are perfect for growing vegetables, landscape architect Kotchakorn Voraakhom told the Bangkok Post. "It is not just about the green," she said, referring to the benefits of growing grass in urban areas. "A UN report shows that nearly 70% of the world's population will live in urban areas by 2050," she said. "Food security depends on three things: natural resources, farming and trade," Mr Kritsada added. Furthermore, because of a centralised market system, goods are sent to urban areas before being transported back to rural consumers, Mr Kritsada said.
