Overview Urban rooftop farming is an innovative and sustainable way to grow crops in city environments. By utilizing unused rooftop space, this type of farming makes it possible to produce fresh, organic produce right in the heart of the city. Rooftop farms typically use space-efficient techniques such as vertical farming or hydroponics to grow vegetables, herbs, and fruits. At Dhannaseth, we provide expert support in setting up rooftop farms that are not only productive but also contribute to a greener, more sustainable urban environment.

As cities around the world continue to grow, the need for space-efficient, sustainable solutions for food production becomes more critical.

With rising consumer demand for locally grown, organic food, rooftop farming is gaining traction as a way to provide fresh produce directly to urban communities. This growing market presents a great opportunity for those interested in capitalizing on urban farming.
