Rooftop Vegetables
———————
Montreal company is showing how cities can
feed themselves with rooftop gardens. Lufa Farms
, founded in 2009, built the world’s first commercial rooftop greenhouse in 2011. Customers order on-line, the food is
harvested in the morning and delivered a few hours later to
pick-up points around the city. So there is no
waste. For $30 a week, customers get a weekly basket of fresh
organic food. As the world population continues to grow, good farmland is rapidly disappearing. Farming on rooftops gives urban residents access to local produce that they would
otherwise have imported from hundreds of miles away.
💠 Study the words:
feed - provide food for
founded - started
harvested - collected, picked from the plants
pick-up points - collection areas
waste - products which have to be thrown away
organic - produced without using harmful chemicals
otherwise - in different circumstances
