Abstract:
China- Pakistan Economic corridor {CPEC) intends to activate the economic activity and connect
China to Arabian sea by creating economic zones in major cities of Pakistan, one of the major
projects is CPEC city Nowshera, which aims to facilitate in the increase in population and establish
a city hub in supervision of FWO. Due to exponential increase in population growth, i.e 49 percent
over 19 years in Nowshera district, gated community is being constructed at the expense of vast
lucrative produce land of the District. The rapid horizontal growth will result in massive increase
in carbon di oxide and loss of Agro-land and lively hood of the farmers as farming is the only skill
being passed down onto generations, leaving maximum rural population unemployed, concrete
construction to accommodate the population. Consequently, which stems the need to go vertical
to acquire minimum footprint and to vertically stack the produce land which is the physical
manifestation of Vertical farming to facilitate the environment and help educate the farmers by
introducing technological farming skills to increase produce and introduce Private regulated
markets to connect farmers directly with consumers. In Conclusion the concept of vertical growth
manifests the idea of Agri-tecture to facilitate the lost produce land to be established as an
independent entity to provide for the unforeseen famine and loss of permanent source of earning
for farmers, Henceforth ensuring to eliminate exhaustion of recourses to facilitate the
diminishing agriculture land and help reduce environmental impact of rapidly growing Cpec city
with the approach of sustainable food production as majorly the economy in District Nowshera
Is based on Agriculture and horticulture.
