- I had a fascinating dream last weekend that revealed happiness persevering through major shifts that required our society to down-size and share far more. The underlying assumption, of course, is that there was enough food. Utilizing space twice to include food and power could/should become the norm. If/when food becomes very expensive, would you rather be living in a standard apartment or in this one? - Editor

South Bronx New York housing complex will feature a 10,000 square foot fully integrated rooftop farm

The Blue Sea Development Corporation has a reputation for integrating emerging environmental technologies into high quality, affordable housing developments across New York City. Their new state of the art affordable housing complex planned for the South Bronx, NY, will feature a 10,000 square feet (930 sq meters) fully integrated rooftop farm, designed by BrightFarm Systems. The greenhouse will use left-over heat from the residential portion of the building and water harvested from the greenhouse roof. The farm will be used to provide fresh, perishable vegetables to a local non-profit food cooperative. The rooftop farm will be able to supply enough produce to meet the annual fresh vegetable needs of up to 450 people. Like many inner city, low income communities, the South Bronx suffers from food deserts, where residents lack access to fresh vegetables at affordable prices. The rooftop farm will make a significant contribution to food access and public health in the neighborhood.
