Urban Agriculture

What is a Green Roof Green roofs supplement traditional vegetation without disrupting urban infrastructure -- they take a neglected space and make it useful.

Pro’s and Cons of Green Roofs They decrease "heat island" effect The building with a green roof creates its micro-climate, so building is cooler in summer and warmer in winter. This means less energy is needed for air conditioning It absorbs pollution and particles from air It absorbs rainfall and reduces the load of water on sewage system Protects Roof insulation material. Thus potentially doubling the roofs lifespan They provide natural environment for birds, insects and small animals Initial investment is significantly higher. Weight of the green roof increases the load on the building and should be cafefully considered Green roofs should be regularly maintained, depending on type of green roof.

Types of Green Roofs: Extensive Overall Depth: inches Weight max: lbs/ft² Irrigation: no, not recommended Plants: Mosses, Sedums, Succulents, Herbs and few Grasses Costs: low Proctor Hall

Types of Green Roofs: Semi- Intensive Overall Depth: 5- 7 inches Weight max: lbs/ft² Irrigation: partially, as- needed Plants: Mosses, Sedums, Succulents, Herbs and few Grasse Selected Perennials, Sedums, ornamental Grasses, Herbs and little Shrubs Costs: medium

Types of Green Roofs: Intensive Overall Depth: inches Weight max: lbs/ft² Irrigation: yes, automatic/flood Plants: Mosses, Sedums, Succulents, Herbs and few Grasse Selected Perennials, Sedums, ornamental Grasses, Herbs and little Shrubs Perennials, Lawn, Putting green, Shrubs and Trees, rooftop farming Costs: high Zimmer Auditorium

Project Name: Trent University Environmental and Resource Sciences Vegetable Garden Year: 1996 Owner: Trent University Location: Peterborough, Canada Type: Intensive, Test/Research Size: sq.ft. Purpose: monitor ozone levels and conduct environmental research and to raise 30 to 40 different crops of produce which is donated. The rooftop garden has a depth of 18 inches of media vegetables such as artichoke, sweet potatoes, squash, kale, beets, carrots, radishes, broccoli, peppers, zucchini, beans, turnips, eggplants, melons, pumpkins, and ground cherries. m/projects/pview.php?id= m/projects/pview.php?id= 558

Five Borough Technical Services Division of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation In the spring of 2010, a 4,000 sf vegetable garden designed by Senior Project Manager Rick Gordon vegetables including tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, string beans, broccoli, corn, lettuce, cucumbers, eggplant and mixed herbs.

Urban Agriculture Potential The average American meal travels 1500 miles from field to table The sustainability of urban systems can be significantly bolstered by fostering a more urban agriculture It is possible to produce a variety of fruit, grain, and vegetable crops on rooftops If roof gardens are built into the original building plan, structural allowance can be made for several feet of soil, accommodating not only vegetable crops but also trees and shrubs. Relatively new practice. Research and new ideas need to be tested. There is a lack of scientific proof to show how well reliable these gardens are as a food source.

What I Hope to Learn Are green roofs a viable option to feed a percentage of the country. China’s plans on using green roofs within their sustainable future. What green roofs have already been designed and if any are creating food.
