In the neighbourhood of Liulichang in downtown Beijing, a small crowd gathered around several planter boxes.
With a handful of dirt in one hand, Jonas Nakonz demonstrated how to make seed bombs while he shared his experience in urban farming.
"I am employed as a specialist for agriculture and urban farming. I'm responsible for agricultural auditing meaning, for instance, transforming land into more sustainable organic farm outside of the city. Within the city, we do rooftop gardens. We start to build up a commercial rooftop farming activity."
Planting flowers and vegetables in the crowded Hutongs and on the rooftops of apartments, Nakonz and his colleagues have started making Beijing a more environmentally-friendly place to live.
