rooftop farms

Skyline vegetable gardens

Rooftop farms are gardens or agricultural operations on building roofs, typically in urban areas where ground-level space is scarce or expensive.

They range from small vegetable plots to commercial operations supplying restaurants and markets.

Beyond food production, rooftop farms provide environmental benefits—absorbing rainwater, reducing building heat, and creating green space in concrete landscapes.
