Yesterday's New York Times featured an article on urban rooftop farming. This could mean anything from putting some planters on the roof of your building and planting a few herbs or vegetables, to large-scale farming operations on the roofs of warehouses. Schools are setting up rooftop vegetable gardens to supply fresh produce to their cafeterias, and high-end restaurants are growing ingredients for their dishes. This great idea isn't only for the city - think of the benefits for suburban schools or offices buildings. To see the full article go to http://www.nytimes.com/pages/dining/index.html.
