The “Miyawaki method” is well known for the:

(a) Promotion of commercial farming in arid and semi-arid areas

(b) Development of gardens using genetically modified flora

(c) Creation of mini forests in urban areas

(d) Harvesting wind energy on coastal areas and on sea surfaces

Explanation

The “Miyawaki method” is well known for the:

The Miyawaki method is a technique for creating dense, native forests in a shorter span of time, often in urban areas. It encourages quick growth by densely planting 30-50 native species in a small area, which results in a mature forest in as few as 20-30 years.

The Miyawaki method was developed by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki.
It involves identifying the native vegetation best suited to the area being planted, called Potential Natural Vegetation.
The method mimics natural forest behavior, with species growing taller and more robust through competition for sun, water, and nutrients.
Trees in a Miyawaki forest grow about 10 times faster than in conventional afforestation techniques.
The forests created using this method are self-sustainable after three years and require less maintenance.
Miyawaki forests increase soil and forest biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and forest resilience.
This method has been applied in various countries, including Japan, India, Malaysia, and some European countries.
