The Future of Food: Urban Rooftop Farming

Kris Day

The future of food includes intensified urban agriculture. In dense, vertical cities like New York City, that means rooftop farming. In this workshop, participants will visit Brooklyn Grange, the world’s largest rooftop farm. They will hear how the farm was created and how these rooftop farmers engage with local communities. Participants will learn what it takes to maintain a for-profit, rooftop farm in a dense urban context.
