URBAN FARMS, ROOFTOP FARMS: Fresher Foods, Less Polluting

In cities around the world, rooftops are turning green, with fruits, vegetables, even rice and eggs being harvested by slick city dwellers hungry to connect with nature, and their own just-picked vine-ripened produce.

It's definitely a win-win all around! Converting human waste into fertilizer for these urban farms, saving the cost of long-distance transportation of produce into cities by moving farms indoors into purpose made "farm-buildings". No wonder then that more cities are planning to join the effort. The prospect of SAVING PRECIOUS TREES AND FORESTS from being turned into FARMLAND, coupled with efficient recycling of many forms of organic waste into fertilizer, sounds like a good idea, doesn't it?  more
