Featured green roof: Trent University - Peterborough, Ontario
Canada

Another example of rooftop agriculture on the roof of the Environmental Sciences building at Trent University. Supervised by Professor Tom Hutchinson, this intensive green roof grows organic food for local groups interested in food security and sustainable agriculture. Among these is The Seasoned Spoon Café, a university restaurant that has a mandate to source its ingredients locally thereby reducing the energy it takes to transport healthy food to consumers.
