Hello everyone.. hope so all of you are fine .
Today i was reading the news when i came to know about a rooftop green house . At first i was a bit amazed but as i searched about it then i came to know much of this . These are so beneficial nutritionally as well as financially.
The biggest Rooftop Farmhouse is located in Montreal Canada.
It's not an obvious choice of location to cultivate organic vegetables—in the heart of Canada's second-largest city—but Lufa Farms on Wednesday inaugurates the facility that spans 160,000 square feet (15,000 square meters), or about the size of three football fields.
"The company's mission is to grow food where people live and in a sustainable way," spokesman Thibault Sorret told AFP, as he showed off its first harvest of giant eggplants.
It is the fourth rooftop greenhouse the company has erected in the city. The first, built in 2011 at a cost of more than Can$2 million (US$1.5 million), broke new ground.
Since then, competitors picked up and ran with the novel idea, including American Gotham Greens, which constructed eight greenhouses on roofs in New York, Chicago and Denver, and French Urban Nature, which is planning one in Paris in 2022.
A local Montreal supermarket has also offered since 2017 an assortment of vegetables grown on its roof, which was "greened" in order to cut greenhouse gas emissions linked to climate change.
Enough vegetables are harvested each week to feed 20,000 families, with baskets tailored for each at a base price of Can$30.
The company's "online market" also sells goods produced by local partner farms including "bread, pasta, rice, etcetera,"
Amazing
