Rooftop garden providing food for University of Saskatchewan students
A rooftop garden project promoting sustainable agricultural practices and urban farming is sprouting on campus this summer.
“This is the other face of agriculture—urban agriculture,” said Grant Wood, a professor in the College of Agriculture and Bioresources.
Tomatoes, hot peppers and leafy greens (including lettuce, kale and spinach) will soon be popping up on the roof of the phytotron, a sunny, triangle-shaped area visible from the above-ground walkway between the biology and agriculture buildings.
