Doha: It is a site to behold. A sea of greenery next to a busy construction site office. The first sight of the green leaves swaying in the wind right next to heavy equipment and temporary shelters makes you wonder about the effort gone behind this lovely looking small farm.
The hard work behind this green oasis belongs to Filipino farmer Dodie Manuel Gonzales, whose passion for farming doesn't stop to amaze his friends and passers-by.

Whatever he grows he distributes it free among his office friends or whoever cares to ask. Many people send him messages over his Facebook page and he makes it a point to distribute his harvest to all.
“Even back home in the Philippines, we have vegetables in our back and front yards. All my neighbours are free to pick and harvest,” said the farming enthusiast.

“I use the best soil available and also make compost from food waste. There is a huge possibility to make compost from food waste in Qatar” he added.
