10,000 Square Meter Rooftop Farm in Chongqing

10,000 Square Meter Rooftop Farm in Chongqing
Mar 11, 2015 By eChinacities.com

One factory in Chongqing has taken urban farming to a new level, by creating a 10,000-square-meter farm on its roof.

Leaders from the door-managing manufacturing factory, decided to install the farm to make use of the huge space.

Workers from the factory grow crops and raise livestock and poultry on the roof, which has been waterproofed to avoid leakage. When the food is ready, they can harvest it and take it home.

There’s even a tractor up there.

How contaminated is the irrigation water they are using?

Good to see industry trying to offset its ecological footprint on a local scale, encouraging.

That's pretty awesome. I like to see this kind of progress from China.
