Rooftop farming is the practice of cultivating food on the rooftop of buildings. [1][2][3] Rooftop farming is usually done using hydroponics, aeroponics or air-dynaponics systems or container gardens. [4] Besides using the already present space at the roof itself, additional platforms could possibly be created between high-rise buildings called "aero-bridges.[5]
