Rooftop agriculture for a sustainable future of urban areas

Rooftop farming is becoming increasingly popular all over the world. It can provide urban dwellers with access to fresh produce that they grow by themselves, in their particular locality. Areas for growing food are usually scarce or completely missing in cities. However, the rooftops of buildings are usually unused and thus, they could make up for the lack of space on the ground. Growing food on rooftops can bring daily pleasure to the urban dwellers, contribute to improving their health and make their lives more pleasant. Rooftop farming is also important for strengthening of social relations in communities.

Abstract

Rooftop farming is becoming increasingly popular all over the world. It can provide urban dwellers with access to fresh produce that they grow by themselves, in their particular locality. Areas for growing food are usually scarce or completely missing in cities. However, the rooftops of buildings are usually unused and thus, they could make up for the lack of space on the ground. Growing food on rooftops can bring daily pleasure to the urban dwellers, contribute to improving their health and make their lives more pleasant. Rooftop farming is also important for strengthening of social relations in communities.
