The

Agriculture

department that had earlier approved the idea of encouraging the city residents to grow vegetables and fruits in their gardens using organic fertilizers is also thinking of incentivizing the scheme by giving such buildings the green building certifications.

Another idea being considered is setting up of organic fertilizer selling centers, where the fertilizers would be sourced from residents which would be made by them using everyday waste products like peels of vegetables and fruits, and soaked tea leaves.
