tons of vegetables
on the roofs

Today, Urban Agriculture is an omnipresent topic in the news. As if, suddenly, it became of the utmost urgency to feed the urbanites with the products of their city. A surprising paradox which combines contradictory backgrounds; the concrete of cities with the earth of the fields.
“Utopia” some will say, “necessity” will other …
ANMA / F – Corporate Foundation ANMA offers an inventory of what could grow on our flat roofs, in the sun and above the various urban pollution.

The Urban Agriculture micro-exhibition shows some recent experiences from around the world. It also addresses the case of intramural Paris by asking this almost absurd question, but which sounds like a challenge: How many tons of fruits and vegetables would grow on our roofs and how many Parisians could we feed?
