vue - How a rooftop farm feeds a city | Mohamed Hage | TEDxUdeM
(Sous-titres en français disponible) Mohamed Hage, an agriculture and technology enthusiast, is the founding president of Lufa Farms, a company that designs, builds and operates rooftop agricultural greenhouses. It was to provide fresh, local and responsible vegetables to montréalais consumers that he created the first commercial rooftop greenhouse in the world in the winter of 2011. Mohamed Hage supervises all of Lufa Farms' daily activities, but is particularly interested in research, planning, construction and operation of the greenhouse environment. His present goal is to help this new agricultural model be progressively integrated into rooftops across major cities.

Most of the roofs cant even carry the weight... And the others that are mostly left are not flat roofs. I like the idea.. but to say everyone can do it is just dangerous without the information architects have.
-
I really liked the idea and its the future in agriculture. Only concerned about water supply as water harvest won't suffice to supply water year round and in metro cities, ground water level already dropping & prompting for external supply. Need to factor investment Vs returns...
-
This needs to be implemented EVERYWHERE!
-
10,000 square meters are barely enough to feed a few persons.
This guy must own a really, really huge house, with an even huger roof ! -
really super idea sir, in coming days every city has to adopt this kind of agriculture becouse population is increasing and cultivable land is decreasing day by day.

15 people don't have rooves

Your country hates the USA the most out of any country

This sounds great, unfortunately in countries like Venezuela, the government is proposing a half-assed version of this as a solution to the food crisis, caused by their own mismanagement, corruption, confiscation of private land, suffocating price controls and foreign currency restrictions.
They're basically telling people to grow chickens on their rooftops and planting tomatoes in their toilets to feed their families when there used to be supermarkets packed to the brim with products (even if the prices were high). Never mind that space is at a premium in the city and people need to work for a living without having to pluck feathers off malnourished birds and fishing for plant eating bugs. Also the pathetic amount that can be grown in a tiny rooftop (if you have one) or kitchen would hardly be enough to make a salad after a month. Hello 18th century! -
Fantastic!
-
Very impressive. Why can't every industrial building do this! Think of Walmart and IKEA which have huge flat surfaces on top of their building. So much place to build greenhouses.
-
absolutely amazing!
-
I just visited Simply Love Gardening (just google it). I learned a lot there.
-
this idea is great but the plants might absorb pollution coming from cars which can produce hazardous fruits
-
13 PEOPLE DOWN VOTED...? THERE ARE ALL TYPES IN THIS WORLD.
-
it is my dream to do it actually
-
This is the future of the world if we really want to keep living on it.Thank you!
-
