ROOFTOP FARMING

Rooftop Organic Farming will become more and more popular in times to come because of the following reasons:

Each house would not only become self-sustainable in producing its own healthy food, it could also generate CARBON CREDITS as it is a highly water-efficient and very low-energy farming system that we have created.
People will soon realize that 70% of the money that they pay for a kg of vegetable is the cost of transporting it and the cost of wastage on the way.
Farmers will stop growing vegetables as the water-table around the cities goes down.
Cancer in adults, neurological disorders in elders and allergies in children will take epidemic proportions.
By growing Fresh vegetables on the rooftop, we cover the un-utilized rooftops with a natural green cover which will significantly bring down the temperature of the building thus reducing the power consumption of the building.
The containers used for growing organic veg on rooftop can be used for catching the rainwater and harvesting it.
