In some cities, public parks and open spaces are being changed into gardens where local residents can grow their own fruit and vegetables. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

#cities #parks #spaces #gardens #residents #fruit #vegetables
In some metropolises, recreational spaces
such
 as
parks
 and open zones are getting transformed into agricultural
areas
 for local people to plant their own fruit and vegetables. The essay will examine the advantages and disadvantages of transforming public
areas
 into
gardens
. Whilst acknowledging that there are some benefits, the essay will argue that the disadvantage of changing public
areas
 into
gardens
 overweigh the advantages. One of the benefits of changing public
parks
 and open zones into
gardens
 to grow fruits and vegetables is it will provide additional opportunities for individuals to earn money. During the formal Soviet Union in most cities, it was in practice growing fruits and vegetables in public
parks
 and open spaces near houses.
This
 way allowed most people to survive during the economic crisis.
However
, the phenomenon has some drawbacks, one of which is the transformation of
parks
 and open zones into agricultural fields means individuals will not have a place to walk or practice some sports in open
areas
,
hence
 it will bring some illnesses
such
 as obesity. A recent survey by Focus shows most of the city residents go walking at least one time a day in
parks
.
This
 gives the idea that public
areas
 must be reserved for people’s health being. In conclusion, despite the fact that changing public spaces into
gardens
 have some advantages, I believe that the drawbacks of the issue overweigh the benefits.
This
 is
due to
 the fact that the population in the cities need more space to do sports and go for a walk to avoid health-related problems.
