Green Roof for Healthy Cities presents their Urban Agriculture Technology, Design and Planning Symposium on March 16 from 1pm-5pm est. The current climate demonstrates the need for strong local economies and resilient solutions. Urban and rooftop agriculture is a productive form of green infrastructure that supports local economies, creates jobs, improves access to fresh produce, and increase biodiversity. GRHC brings together urban and rooftop agriculture experts to share the benefits and challenges around urban agriculture to advocate for green roof and policy implementation and drive the industry forward.
