Next spring on the Brooklyn waterfront will be the first harvest from the largest hydroponic roof top farm in the country. Copy it. Copy copy copy. Local urban produce. We can feed ourselves locally yes we can.

Rain harvested from the roof will be 1.8 million gallons. Currently from this one roof, that rain floods the (combined with sewage) storm drains which causes the sewage in them to over flow into the river.

This local farm will save on transportation costs — and sell to local stores and markets.
100,000 sq ft roof yielding an expected 1,000,000 pounds of produce a year. Some say the taste is not as good but apparently with advances it’s improving. Do they know about the effective microbes? EM-1 probiotic solution would help.
