Answer 1

Yes, you can farm on the roof tops of buildings.

Issues are water pumped up and water drained down, weight of crops and water on the structure.

Do you want to go hydroponic or traditional soil?

   You will need to use mostly beneficial insects for control of harmful insects because no Urban Neighbors are going to appreciate pesticide applications coming in their Air conditioning vents or windows.

   There is a lot to think about and plan for , but it is possible!
