Flyover Farm in Mumbai, India

5,000 sq ft of unused rooftop to be used

We want to transform 5,000 sq ft of unused rooftop into an exemplar urban farm and community space. The Farm is located atop a low income, mixed-use building on the busiest street in Mumbai. There is no source for organic produce or any green, open space in walking distance from the building. We hope that by showing it is possible to grow food in a densely urbanized area with limited resources we will inspire others to start growing (some of) their own food in the underutilized spaces that surround them.

The Flyover Farm will:

Grow organic fruits, herbs and vegetables
Compost kitchen waste
Sell produce through the rooftop grocery
Host workshops to educate and expose city dwellers to the possibilities of urban farming and train urban farmers
Research, design and develop best practices for rooftop farming
Serve as an outdoor community and activity space for building residents
