The session began with a detailed briefing on kitchen gardening and urban agriculture, presented by Nadeem Iqbal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the meeting, the Federal Minister emphasized that kitchen gardening is not only a healthy and engaging activity but also a practical step towards environmental improvement and household-level self-reliance. He noted the urgent need to revive this culture, which is gradually fading in our society. The government is actively working on strategies to restore it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rana Tanveer Hussain highlighted that successful models from Kenya, Brazil, and Cuba are being studied in detail to develop localized, practical solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further mentioned that the government is planning practical initiatives to enhance agriculture and improve the environment. A model project, in collaboration with the National Agricultural Research Centre (NARC) and the Capital Development Authority (CDA), is under development to benefit the general public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This model, he said, will not only help citizens access affordable and fresh produce but also raise awareness and contribute to a greener, more beautiful environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad, Federal Minister for National Food Security and Research, Rana Tanveer Hussain, chaired a meeting on Urban Agriculture.
