Growing Food on a Building Rooftop in the City โ€“ Thriving Urban Farm

So many people are interested in local and organic food these days, but students from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) have taken the movement one step further by converting a green roof on campus into an urban rooftop farm! As of 2017, they were producing 10,000 lbs of fresh fruits and veggies on their green roof.

They sell the produce at a farmer's market, to CSA (community-supported agriculture) customers, and they give some to the campus food room, which is a place where students can have access to free food.

In addition to growing food on the rooftop, they also have a variety of programs and workshops available to help educate students, faculty, staff, and community members about how to grow food, including a 10-week market garden program.

A multitude of different people are interested in this project, from nutrition and urban planning students, to community members who want to learn how to grow food in their own yards and balconies, to other universities who want to replicate the project on their own campus.

What a great idea, love to see this, I was raised on farm. Nothing like growing your own food

Since heat rises, even inside buildings, I imagine part of the success of rooftop gardens is due to the heat inside the building acting almost like a low power heating pad beneath the plants, helping to offset the cooler temperatures of Toronto's northerly latitude for those plants not in greenhouses.

This is wonderful! It should be mandatory for buildings in all urban areas. And for regular homes, solar panels integrated into roofing tiles, apparently this tech exists in Japan.
