Have you ever looked around a large city and wondered how the huge area of flat roof space could be used? No? Well next time look up and imagine food growing right in the heart of a city. It can be done as this piece from City Farmer shows.
This is a fantastic project; it shows just what is possible with a little imagination but it also makes me despair. It could easily happen in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Glasgow, Edinburgh and many other towns and cities in the UK.
I would just love to see a demo roof garden that grows significant amounts of food. Maybe a large hospital or inner city school might like to give it a try?
