Rooftop Farming Practices
Rooftop Farming Practices
Rooftop farming practices are innovative urban agriculture solutions that utilize unused rooftop spaces to grow crops. These systems often use soil-based or hydroponic methods to cultivate vegetables, herbs, and fruits. Rooftop farms enhance urban food security, reduce heat island effects, and improve air quality. Incorporating sustainable techniques, like rainwater harvesting and organic fertilizers, minimizes environmental impacts. These farms also promote community engagement and provide educational opportunities for urban residents. Rooftop farming not only maximizes space utilization but also fosters greener cities and self-reliant food systems.
