#rooftop farms

[firedragon1321]

New idea based on the Green Acres theme song. I call it Rooftop Farms.

Man wants that cottagecore life

Woman wants to stay in the city

You know the jist

Instead of getting sexist as fuck, they compromise like adults

"Why don't you see if the city will give you a permit to build your own farm?"

There is only one available and it's for the roof of the apartment they live in

The catch is Literally Anything can go on that roof, no matter how heavy (sitcom logic)

Every episode is about some kind of haywire misadventure involving a new machine/animal

Husband and wife argue, then work together to fix it

Wife eventually gets used to the smell of cow shit on the roof. Oddly, it makes her think of her husband.

Husband enjoys his little economically sustainable farm land, and the view of the city his wife loves

Neighbors include a grumpy Squidward-esque guy who constantly gets roped into shenanigans

50% absurdity, 50% the healiest relationship in sitcoms, 0% sexism

Farmscrapers Broaden versus the Crown

At the imagination respecting modern architects and technology from environmental researchers, engineers and agriculturists along with the willingness of government officials, over again structures are reaching to the clouds with the goal with regard to reducing tenor emissions. A French architectural firm called Vincent Carbon Callibout Architects has aimed six 1300 foot towers as far as persist built next to China. These farmscrapers hoist to the sky are green, giant and innovative buildings that will ease the problems of over populated urban areas, create renewable solar energy systems and wind turbine plants within the buildings for a genre apropos of uses. The design add a codicil likewise change profusion products in spartan resources as long as their farms.

The farms will help so as to feed the overcrowded stake speaking of Shenzhen which is after all growing in population. The designers in re these structures are incorporating renewable star-studded power panel systems and the use of wind energy throughout the spiral configuration. Excess sustainable energy yearning go on stored alerion used elsewhere.<\p>

The pyramid of farmscrapers up to the sky desire be found made of pre-fabricated sections that imperative be built approach a controlled environment using green materials.

Construction of Europe's Largest Rooftop Farm Begins

The groundbreaking ceremony of UrbanFarmers' 1.200 sqm rooftop greenhouse in the Hague will take place next week, 14th September. The rooftop farm will be the largest commercial urban farm in Europe. Construction is due to begin in September 2015 with completion in January 2016. The first fish and vegetables will be sold in April 2016, with the farm planned to be open to visitors and tours from February 2016. 

The project is realized by collaboration between UrbanFarmers AG, a private investor and Stimuleringsfonds Volkshuisvesting (SVn: the Dutch Municipalities’ Housing Development Fund). SVn utilizes JESSICA funds made available by the European Regional Development Program “Opportunities for West” for economic stimulation in The Hague. The equity and loan to secure financing for UF002 De Schilde is expected from the Fonds voor Ruimte en Economie Den Haag (Fund for Location and Economy The Hague). UF002 De Schilde is located at a signature building of The Hague; the former Philips telecommunication building constructed by the grandfather of Rem Koolhaas. The classic building on Televiesiestraat 2 currently lies mostly vacant and will now be re-purposed into a multi-story urban farming enterprise. Dubbed the “Times Square of Urban Farming” (“hotspot for urban farming” in Dutch), the building will span two floors and use the UF System for the sustainable production of fish and vegetables. The UF Consortium partners, UrbanFarmers AG, Priva BV, Koppert Biological Systems and Rijk Zwaan, have been supportive from the outset, and continue to work diligently together to build the urban farm on the rooftop and 6th floor of the building.

Rooftop farms provide rich pickings in refugee camp

This woman proves that even without money or job, she scavenged the needed things to start her own rooftop garden, in order to feed her family. That blossomed into a gifted greenhouse, which she now is turning into a non-profit business, to help all people in refugee camps grow their own veggies.

All good ideas that can be replicated anywhere, especially blighted urban areas in the US that have been decimated by the recession. Click on the link below to get the whole story.

Whole Foods to have 20,000 sq foot rooftop farm on new store in Brooklyn, NY.

From the article:

This week, Whole Foods announced that it’s going a step further, teaming up with Gotham Greens to build the first commercial-scale greenhouse farm in the U.S. that’s attached to a retail grocery store. The hydroponic farm will produce leafy greens, basil, and unlike the Greenpoint greenhouse, vine crops like tomatoes and cucumbers.

That's pretty amazing.
