02.13.01 Ma startup contribue à l'objectif 'Lutte contre les Changements Climatiques'

7 - tout à fait d'accord

02.13.02 Justification de la contribution de ma startup

Having urban farms will help to reduce climate change problems and provides good/positive environmental changes. Urban farming and gardening can have positive contributions to climate adaptation by enhancing vegetation cover in cities. The planted and cultivated vegetation increases the water infiltration capacity of the soil, which in turn leads to better adaptation in terms of improved management of stormwater runoff. As a consequence of the increased water infiltration capacity, the groundwater table will rise, thus improving drought resistance. By providing shade, increasing evapotranspiration, and transforming sunlight into vegetal material in photosynthesis processes rather than absorbing it, plants and trees have a cooling effect on their environment.
